title: Parathyroid peliosis: report of a case and review of the literature.
abstract: Peliosis most commonly affects the liver and spleen and has been associated with exogenous and endogenous steroid hormones, particularly of the anabolic type. The finding of peliosis of the parathyroid glands, as well as of the liver, in an infant with adrenogenital syndrome indicates that other organs may be affected.
