title: Drug-induced vascular and sinusoidal lesions of the liver.
abstract: Drugs can induce various vascular and sinusoidal lesions of the liver, in particular hepatic vein thrombosis, veno-occlusive disease, sinusoidal dilatation, peliosis hepatis, hepatoportal sclerosis and angiosarcoma. None of these lesions is specific of drug-induced injury and all of them can be determined by causes other than drugs. However, for one of these lesions, veno-occlusive disease, chemotherapy (and/or irradiation) represents the main aetiology.
