title: Liver disease from surreptitious administration of urethane.
abstract: We report subacute necrosis, peliosis hepatis, venoocclusive disease and hepatic angiosarcoma after long-term administration of urethane. We take this to be the 12th case of urethane-induced hepatitis and the first associated with vascular liver tumor.
