Peliosis Hepatis: A Vascular Tumor-Like Liver Lesion

Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the liver. Causes are numerous, including medications, toxins, malignancies, and infections. We present a case of PH in a 28-year-old woman who was referred to our clinic after an ultrasound revealed multiple liver lesions. The diagnosis of PH was made after a liver biopsy and was attributed to her use of oral contraceptive pills. The aim of this case report is to familiarize physicians with PH and to aid in diagnosis and management.

Abstract

Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the liver. Causes are numerous, including medications, toxins, malignancies, and infections. We present a case of PH in a 28-year-old woman who was referred to our clinic after an ultrasound revealed multiple liver lesions. The diagnosis of PH was made after a liver biopsy and was attributed to her use of oral contraceptive pills. The aim of this case report is to familiarize physicians with PH and to aid in diagnosis and management.
