A rare case is described of coexistent idiopathic retroperitoneal and mediastinal fibrosis presenting with portal hypertension. Portal hypertension was caused by fibrotic entrapment of the portal venous system. The present case provides further evidence for the concept of systemic idiopathic fibrosis and underlines the variable manifestations of the disorder.
