Abstract:
Peliosis hepatitis is a rare disorder previously seen in tuberculosis and malignant disorders and now seen with anabolic steroid use or after renal transplantation. We report the first case of peliosis hepatis in a patient with marasmus and no previously reported predisposing condition. Of interest, the peliosis hepatis resolved rapidly (over 2-3 wk) as determined by computed tomography scan and the patient presented with a cholestatic enzyme pattern that resolved with development of the lesion.
