Abstract
Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign vascular condition characterized by sinusoidal dilatation and the presence of blood-filled spaces within the liver. PH is often clinically asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally. It presents a clinical challenge as its imaging findings frequently mimic other pathologies, including primary or secondary malignancies and abscesses. In this article, we present a case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of recurrent tongue cancer treated by surgery and chemoradiotherapy, and concurrent multiple myeloma, in whom PH was incidentally discovered. Based on computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) imaging findings prior to biopsy, PH was diagnosed, and pathologically confirmed. Follow-up computed tomography five months after the discontinuation of raloxifene hydrochloride, a selective estrogen receptor modulator and a suspected drug causing PH, the regression of PH lesions was observed.
