    Author: Castiglione U, Curcio M, Salvaggio S, Vancheri F.
    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 2001 Dec; 92(12):756. PubMed ID: 11822098.
    Abstract:
    Portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis of the liver is the main factor leading to the formation of portosystemic collaterals. The sites of such collateral circulation are well known. We describe a case of haemoptysis from dorsal tongue base varices, which are not recognised as portosystemic anastomosis, in a cirrhotic patient with portal hypertension.
