A case of hepatocarcinoma on cirrhosis with portal hypertension is described. The anatomy of splenorenal anastomoses and their ultrasound and CT scan imaging characteristics are reviewed, and the interest of differential diagnosis from adrenal masses emphasized. Its importance is enhanced by the fact that the portal hypertension may be unrecognized as in the present case. Diagnostic effectiveness of ultrasound and CT scan imaging is discussed.
