Peliosis hepatis is a type of medical liver disease.

General

  • Prevalence - very rare.[1]
  • Rarely biopsied.
  • May cause hemoperitoneum.[1][2]
  • Etiology - unknown.[3]

Associated with:

  • Infections.
  • Malignancy.
  • Other stuff.

Clinical DDx:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Multiple small cysts[1] lined by endothelium.
    • Usually incomplete.
  • Blood.

Images

A. Hemorrhage at left end, dilated sinusoids elsewhere (20X).
B. Ramifying dilated sinusoidal spaces (100X).
C. PAS with diastase shows flat lining (400X).
D. Necrotic hepatocytes in cords, presumably due to pressure (400X).
