    Author: Oŕiordan K, Blei A, Vogelzang R, Nemcek A, Abecassis M.
    Journal: HPB Surg; 2000; 11(5):353-8. PubMed ID: 10674752.
    Abstract:
    Peliosis hepatis is defined as the appearance of blood filled lakes in the hepatic parenchyma. It has been associated with various pharmacological agents and infections. Treatment has been primarily symptomatic and includes discontinuation of offending medications, partial hepatectomy or occasionally liver transplantation. We report a 58 year old white female on hormone replacement therapy who developed symptomatic peliosis hepatis and underwent successful superselective hepatic artery embolization with control of bleeding.
