[Peliosis hepatis: 2 new cases].
Peliosis Hepatis is a liver disease characterized by the presence of cystic spaces fill of blood visible through the capsule and on the cutting surface. The etiology has been related to the use of anabolic steroids in cases with malignant tumors and cronic diseases. Only fifty cases have been reported in the world literature. Two anatomical patterns have been described: parenchyma tous and phlebectatic. A combinated pattern including both lesions was also observed. We presented two cases: a 83 years old patient with a cecum carcinoma who developed a phlebectatic pattern, and a 63 years old woman with eritroleucemia who presented the parenchimatous patern after long medication with anabolic steroids. The combined pattern was not present in none of the two cases.
