| ===Prognosis===

| Depending on if the right diagnosis was made, the prognosis may vary. Peliosis hepatis should not be drained. If mistaken for [[hepatic abscess]] and drained, it can lead to life-threatening [[hemorrhage]]. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as excellent.<ref name="pmid7949724">{{cite journal| author=Cohen GS, Ball DS, Boyd-Kranis R, Gembala RB, Wurzel J| title=Peliosis hepatis mimicking hepatic abscess: fatal outcome following percutaneous drainage. | journal=J Vasc Interv Radiol | year= 1994 | volume= 5 | issue= 4 | pages= 643-5 | pmid=7949724 | doi=10.1016/s1051-0443(94)71572-4 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7949724 }} </ref>
