[Fanconi's disease associated with hepato-splenic peliosis (author's transl)]

The authors report a case of Fanconi's disease equilibrated for a period of 8 years by androgen therapy. The patient died after interruption of treatment; the clinical picture comprised hepatomegaly, jaundice, pancytopenia. The autopsy showed hepato-splenic peliosis and acute tuberculosis. The subject of peliosis is brought up to date by a thorough review of current literature and the relationships between steroid treatment and hepatic complications are discussed.
