  • Title: Peliosis hepatis: a case report.
    Author: Yap I, Yeoh KG, Wee A, Kang JY, Tan L.
    Journal: Ann Acad Med Singap; 1993 May; 22(3):381-3. PubMed ID: 8373124.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old man who presented with marked hepatomegaly and a liver scan suggestive of an infiltrative malignancy was found to have peliosis hepatis caused by androgenic steroids. A detailed and repeated drug history is necessary for making the correct diagnosis. Withdrawal of the offending drug is indicated and may result in reversal of this serious form of hepatic toxicity.
