Background: Among congenital anomalies of the portal venous system, prepancreatic postduodenal portal vein (PPPV) is very rare and has only been reported to date. Herein, we report a case of PPPV identified in preoperative examinations for hepatocellular carcinoma and a literature review. Case presentation: A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of a liver tumor. After examination, he was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma with a diameter of 40 mm in segment 8. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed a portal vein passing between the duodenum and pancreas, hence called PPPV. At the hepatic hilus, the portal vein branched off in a complicated course with some porto-portal communications. We determined that anatomical resection with manipulation of the hepatic hilum in this case resulted in major vascular injury. Therefore, we performed partial liver resection, and the patient was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day 14. Conclusions: Although PPPV is an extremely rare congenital vascular variant, it is important to carefully identify vascular patterns preoperatively and to recognize the possibility of such an anomaly to avoid misidentification and inadvertent injuries during surgery.
