We report two cases, one with gastric leiomyosarcoma and another with Non Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, complicated by portal vein block and presenting with gastric variceal bleeding. Portal vein
block in both cases was due to direct vascular infiltration. Development of portal hypertension posed
difficulties in management.</p>
