  • Title: Peliosis hepatis in a patient with marasmus.
    Author: Simon DM, Krause R, Galambos JT.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1988 Sep; 95(3):805-9. PubMed ID: 3135227.
    Abstract:
    Peliosis hepatitis is a rare disorder previously seen in tuberculosis and malignant disorders and now seen with anabolic steroid use or after renal transplantation. We report the first case of peliosis hepatis in a patient with marasmus and no previously reported predisposing condition. Of interest, the peliosis hepatis resolved rapidly (over 2-3 wk) as determined by computed tomography scan and the patient presented with a cholestatic enzyme pattern that resolved with development of the lesion.
