Abstract

Dubin-Johnson syndrome is neither complicated by liver cell necrosis nor associated with portal hypertension. We report a 22-year-old man who had recurrent episodes of jaundice (conjugated hyperbilirubinemia) because of Dubin-Johnson syndrome and portal hypertension secondary to portal vein thrombosis. The relationship between Dubin-Johnson syndrome and portal vein thrombosis in this case is most likely a chance occurrence.
