Peliosis hepatis: Personal experience and literature review

Figure 1 Computed tomography (arterial phase). The lesion is composed of greater areas of low attenuation and shows an early acquisition of the contrast.

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance. A: T2-weighted sequence. The lesion is as hyperintense as the remaining parenchyma with multiple foci of high-signal intensity; B: T1-weighted sequence. The lesion appears hypointense.
