%X Porto-sinusoidal vascular liver disease (PSVD) is a disorder that can cause portal hypertension without liver cirrhosis. TAFRO syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disorder with a background of immunological abnormalities. We report a case of TAFRO syndrome complicated by PSVD with portal hypertension. A 39-year-old man developed refractory ascites and esophageal varices. Lymph node histology revealed multicentric Castleman disease-like features. Intravenous methylprednisolone and tocilizumab therapy improved ascites and renal dysfunction, but the patient developed severe infections. The diagnosis of TAFRO syndrome in patients complicated by PSVD with portal hypertension encourages the consideration of appropriate treatment for these patients.
