Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a complication of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
However, DVTs in unusual sites such as portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are rare and may
be the first clinical manifestation of occult MPNs. There is a need for increasing
awareness of such manifestations; so, here we discuss a patient who presented with
new portal vein thrombosis, underwent further studies, was ultimately diagnosed with
JAK2 positive MPN, and started on appropriate treatment with improvement of thrombosis
and controlled hematocrit.
