الملخص EN

Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is a common infectious disease in tropical regions.

The author reports a case of melioidosis with a rare manifestation of portal vein thrombosis and cavernous transformation of the portal vein.

Melioidosis should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with underlying risk factors who present with multiple liver abscesses; moreover, portal vein thrombosis can be a potential complication.

Computed tomography is the modality of choice to demonstrate venous thrombosis in various organs.
