We performed an abdominopelvic CT scan and then a MRI with contrast agent which objectified a large tissue mass containing areas of necrosis at the level of the duodeno-pancreatic compartment communicating at a large angle with the portal trunk over its entire length from the hepatic hilum to the spleno-mesenteric confluence responsible for a portal cavernoma downstream. This is associated with multiple secondary nodular tissue hepatic lesions. We also noted a respect for the fatty border separating the mass of the duodenal tract and the head of the pancreas, and also the absence of dilation of the pancreatic ducts making a pancreatic origin unlikely. To eliminate a duodenal origin of the mass we performed an upper digestive endoscopy which came back without any abnormality.
