title: Peliosis hepatis, nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver, and light-chain deposition in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
abstract: We report the case of a female patient suffering from Waldenström's macroglobulinemia with three different liver lesions: peliosis hepatis, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, and light-chain deposits within the sinusoidal walls. We hypothesize that both peliosis hepatis and nodular regenerative hyperplasia might be the consequence of a disordered intrahepatic circulation determined by light-chain deposits infiltrating the sinusoidal walls.
