Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases(2022)

We present a patient case of spontaneous external hemorrhage from an ectopic paraumbilical varicosity in the setting of portal hypertension secondary to decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis that was treated effectively with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.
