Peliosis hepatis with pseudotumoral and hemorrhagic evolution: CT and MR findings

Abdom Imaging. 2001 Mar-Apr;26(2):197-9. doi: 10.1007/s002610000131.

Abstract

Peliosis hepatis is an uncommon benign disorder characterized by blood-filled cavities within the liver. We describe the sonographic, computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance appearance of a patient affected by peliosis hepatis with pseudotumoral and hemorrhagic evolution and direct demonstration of the ectatic vascular components.
