title: Case report: radiological appearances in peliosis hepatis.
abstract: Peliosis hepatis is an unusual disorder characterized by blood filled hepatic spaces. We describe the appearances of this entity on ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The importance of peliosis hepatis is that it may be an indicator of a treatable underlying condition.
