Pulmonary peliosis.

J T Lie

    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

    Summary

    Peliosis hepatis, a rare vascular lesion, is often linked to androgenic-anabolic steroid therapy. This case highlights an exceptionally rare instance of pulmonary peliosis, alongside liver and spleen involvement, in a patient with Fanconi anemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Pathology
    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Peliosis hepatis is an uncommon vascular lesion with an unknown cause, frequently associated with androgenic-anabolic steroid use.
    • Extrahepatic peliosis is rare, typically affecting the spleen and often co-occurring with peliosis hepatis.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old male patient with Fanconi anemia presented with an unusual case of peliosis.
    • The patient had a history of long-term therapy with fluoxymesterone and methyltestosterone.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited peliosis hepatis, splenic peliosis, and notably, pulmonary peliosis.
    • This case represents the second documented instance of pulmonary peliosis in English literature.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for androgenic-anabolic steroids to induce rare vascular lesions in multiple organs.
    • Highlights the importance of considering peliosis in patients with Fanconi anemia undergoing hormonal therapy.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms linking these steroids to peliosis development.
