Polycitemia vera is included in the group chronic mieloproliferative neoplasias. It has an incidence below 2.5 every 100 000 people. The thrombotic forms represent only between 10.15 % of the cases. Splenic-portal thrombosis not associated to cirrhosis or neoplasias have an incidence below 5 every 10000 inhabitants, between 17-53 % are associated to any type of primary mieloproliferative syndrome. A case of a 70 year old patient who came to the doctor complainig of an abdominal pain of 15 day duration. Abdominal ultrasound showed a markedly ecogenic liver towards vascular structures, compatible with extensive thrombotic areas of the splenic-portal axis, corroborated later by contrast tomography. Bone morrow biopsy concluded a three series hyperplasia, the determination of JAK2V617F mutation was positive. The low incidence of polycitemia vera and its unusual way of presenting as thromobosis of splenic-portal system motivated the presentation of this case.

Palabras clave : venous thrombosis; polycythemia vera; splenic diseases.
