| '''Peliosis Hepatis''' is an uncommon [[Blood vessel|vascular]] condition characterised by randomly distributed multiple blood-filled cavities throughout [[liver]]. Size of the cavities usually ranges between a few millimetres to 3 cm in diameter<ref name="marvin">{{cite book | last = Sleisenger | first = Marvin | title = Sleisenger and Fordtran's Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease | publisher = W.B. Saunders Company | location = Philadelphia | year = 2006 |isbn = 1416002456 }} Chapter 80 </ref>. In the past it was a mere [[histological]] curiosity occasionally found at [[autopsies]] but has been increasingly recognised with wide ranging conditions from [[AIDS]] to the use of [[anabolic steroid]]s. It also occasionally affects [[spleen]], [[lymph nodes]], [[lungs]], [[kidneys]], [[adrenal glands]], [[bone marrow]] and other parts of [[gastrointestinal tract]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Ichijima K, Kobashi Y, Yamabe H, Fujii Y, Inoue Y |title=Peliosis hepatis.

| Peliosis hepatis is often erroneously written "peliosis hepati''ti''s", despite its not being one of the [[hepatitis|hepatitides]]. The correct term arises from the Greek ''pelios'', i.e. discoloured by extravasated blood, livid<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2380479 |title=Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon |accessdate=2007-06-11 |format= |work=}}</ref>, and the Latinized Genitive case (hepatis<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3D%2320439 |title=Charlton T.

| The [[pathogenesis]] of peliosis hepatis is unknown. There are several [[Hypothesis|hypotheses]], such as, it arise from [[sinusoidal]] epithelial damage<ref>{{cite journal |author=Gushiken FC |title=Peliosis hepatis after treatment with 2-chloro-3'-deoxyadenosine |journal=South. Med.

|
| Two [[morphology (biology)|morphologic]] patterns of hepatic peliosis were described by Yanoff and Rawson <ref>{{cite journal |author=YANOFF M, RAWSON AJ |title=PELIOSIS HEPATIS. AN ANATOMIC STUDY WITH DEMONSTRATION OF TWO VARIETIES |journal=Archives of pathology |volume=77 |issue= |pages=159-65 |year=1964 |pmid=14088761}}</ref>. In the '''phlebectatic''' type, the blood-filled spaces are lined with [[endothelium]] and are associated with [[aneurysm|aneurism]]al dilatation of the central vein; in the '''parenchymal''' type, the spaces have no endothelial lining and they usually are associated with [[haemorrhagic]] [[parenchyma]]l [[necrosis]]. Some considers both pattern to be one process, initiated by focal [[necrosis]] of liver parenchyma observed in parenchymal type progressing into formation of [[fibrous]] wall and endothelial lining around [[haemorrhage]] of phebectatic type. [[Fibrosis]], [[cirrhosis]], regenerative nodules, and [[tumor|tumours]] may also be seen.
