β¦ Synopsis
We report a case of hypoechoic periportal cuffing in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. The hypoechoic area encasing the main portal vein and its branches may have been caused by transient lymphedema resulting from the blockage of small lymph vessels or from direct periportal infiltration by malignant cells. The sonographic abnormality disappeared within 2 weeks of the commencement of chemotherapy.
