Peliosis hepatis: spectrum of imaging findings

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 Jul;187(1):W43-52. doi: 10.2214/AJR.05.0167.

Abstract

Objective: It is important to recognize the imaging characteristics of peliosis hepatis because peliotic lesions may mimic several different types of focal hepatic lesions

Conclusion: We illustrate the spectrum of imaging findings of peliosis hepatis, including sonography, CT, MR, and angiography.
