Dear Editor Hepatic nodules with increased portal venous flow are rare, and no distinct status has been established for them. We present here a case of idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) with multiple hyperplastic nodules supplied by portal venous flow. A 30-year-old Japanese man with esophageal varices was admitted to our hospital. Arterial phase computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple low-attenuating nodules of 2 to 3 cm in diameter in both lobes. However the contrast of the multiple nodules had become indistinct on portal phase CT.
