    AbstractDeep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a complication of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). However, DVTs in unusual sites such as portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are rare and may be the first clinical manifestation of occult MPNs. There is a need for increasing awareness of such manifestations; so, here we discuss a patient who presented with new portal vein thrombosis, underwent further studies, was ultimately diagnosed with JAK2 positive MPN, and started on appropriate treatment with improvement of thrombosis and controlled hematocrit.Copyright © 2023 Southern Society for Clinical Investigation.
