[Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension presented by acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding 7 years after oxaliplatin-chemotherapy].

After having received adjuvant FOLFOX treatment consisting of oxaliplatin, folinic acid and fluoruracil following hemicolectomy in colon cancer 7 years ago, the findings of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension presented by acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a 49-year old woman were interpreted as oxaliplatin-associated. Imaging techniques, hepatic venous pressure measurement and liver biopsy supported pre-sinusoidal damage due to NRH (nodular regenerative hyperplasia) as the underlying cause, even though histological findings were moderate. Following primary endoscopic treatment, a stable condition has thus far been achievable with standard drug therapy.
