"Peliosis hepatis"

Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with bartonella peliosis hepatis following kidney transplantation in a patient with HIV. Bacillary peliosis hepatis is a well recognised manifestation of disseminated Bartonella henselae infection that can occur in immunocompromised individuals. Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is an immune-mediated condition with features that can overlap with a severe primary infection such as disseminated Bartonella spp infection. We report a case of bacillary peliosis hepatis and secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis due to disseminated Bartonella spp infection in a kidney-transplant recipient with well controlled HIV. The patient reported 2 weeks of fever and abdominal pain and was found to have hepatomegaly. He recalled exposure to a sick dog

Huge peliosis hepatis mimicking cystic echinococcosis: A case report. Peliosis hepatis (PH), which is characterized by blood-filled cavities in the liver, is a rare disease. Its diagnosis depends on postoperative pathological examinations and immunohistochemistry. A 44-year-old female complained of right-middle upper abdominal pain and distension for 1 month, with occasional vomiting and fever

Peliosis hepatis: 2 case reports of a rare liver disorder and its differential diagnosis. Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare tumor-like liver lesion composed of multiple blood-filled cavities within the liver parenchyma. It is hard to differentiate PH from other liver lesions by imaging, such as carcinoma, metastases, or abscess. Here, we reported 2 cases that presented with liver lesions under

A Fatal Case of Intra-Abdominal Hemorrhage Following Diagnostic Blind Percutaneous Liver Biopsy in a Patient With Peliosis Hepatis Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare vascular condition of the liver characterized by the presence of cystic blood filled cavities distributed randomly throughout the liver parenchyma. We describe a case of a 42-year-old previously healthy male patient, airlifted to us

Liver lesions detected in a hepatitis B core total antibody-positive patient masquerading as hepatocellular carcinoma: a rare case of peliosis hepatis and a review of the literature Peliosis Hepatis (PH) is a rare vascular disorder of the liver, characterized by the presence of cystic blood-filled cavities distributed throughout the hepatic parenchyma. The pathogenesis of PH remains controversial

Peliosis Hepatis Complicating Pregnancy: A Rare Entity Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare, benign condition of the liver characterized by the presence of blood-filled lacunar spaces in the parenchyma. It usually has a chronic presentation and is a rare cause of portal hypertension reported in adult patients. Its etiology is diverse and ranges from infectious agents to tumors to toxic substances

Peliosis Hepatis Simulates Liver Metastases

Peliosis Hepatis Mimicking Malignant Hypervascular Tumors. Peliosis hepatis is an uncommon vascular condition characterized by multiple, randomly distributed, blood-filled, and cyst-like cavities throughout the liver. The unique clinical nature consisting of an asymptomatic, benign, and incidental finding sometimes conceals itself even until autopsy. However, the exact pathomechanism remains as yet unproven. We encountered the patient with multiple hypervascular masses in the whole liver and investigated the clinicopathological features underlying this condition. Detailed herein is a case of peliosis hepatis on the basis of our findings. Our patient illustrated a lethal instance which mimicked a malignancy although it is usually an indolent finding. Peliosis hepatis should always be borne

Peliosis hepatis presenting with massive hepatomegaly in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Peliosis hepatis is a rare condition that can cause hepatic hemorrhage, rupture, and ultimately liver failure. Several authors have reported that peliosis hepatis develops in association with chronic wasting disease or prolonged use of anabolic steroids or oral contraceptives . In this report we describe a case in which discontinuation of steroid therapy improved the condition of a patient with peliosis hepatis. Our patient was a 64-year-old woman with a history of long-term steroid treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura . Her symptoms included abdominal pain and weight loss; the only finding of a physical examination was hepatomegaly. We performed computed tomography (CT

Focal type of peliosis hepatis

Peliosis hepatis: Personal experience and literature review Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a disease characterized by multiple and small, blood-filled cysts within the parenchymatous organs. PH is a very rare disease, more common in adults, and when it affects the liver, it comes to the surgeon's attention only in an extremely urgent situation after the lesion's rupture with the resulting

Peliosis hepatis in a child with myotubular myopathy: Successful treatment using hepatic artery embolization. Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare condition characterized by multiple blood-filled spaces within the hepatic parenchyma that can lead to fatal hemorrhage. There is no consensus on the best treatment algorithm for PH, and therapy is directed at removing the potential causative agent

autoimmune-like hepatitis [DI-ALH], and peliosis hepatis [77]). Some patients with chronic DILI may develop varying degrees of liver fibrosis or cirrhosis despite discontinuation of the suspected drug, which is an important etiology of cryptogenic cirrhosis. Some patients may present with unexplained chronic liver injury, chronic hepatitis, or even cirrhosis at their first medical visit [78]. Patients

focal fat deposition or sparing, intrahepatic vascular shunts, transient hepatic attenuation/intensity difference, abscess, hematoma, and peliosis hepatis. Patients with cirrhosis are a special patient population in whom certain benign (regenerating nodules), premalignant (dysplastic nodules), malignant (HCC), and nontumorous (confluent hepatic fibrosis) masses as well

all female and male animals over the years. The cutaneous lesions were first observed over eight years ago, with additional cases detected during the three following years, but no new cases in the last five years. Two affected animals were subjected to a post mortem examination and were found to suffer from peliosis hepatis as one of the additional pathological changes. BIBD was confirmed in five
