Peliosis hepatis in a living related liver transplantation donor candidate

Peliosis hepatis is a rare benign condition histologically characterized by multiple cystic blood-filled spaces distributed throughout the liver parenchyma. Peliosis hepatis has been associated with malignancies, immunosuppression, infections and medications. We report a case of peliosis hepatis in a candidate for living liver donation, which regressed with restitutio ad integrum, after the noxious stimulus was stopped. We conclude that after diagnosis of peliosis hepatis is established and its cause is removed, simple radiographic imaging is sufficient to document the restitutio ad integrum of the parenchyma, avoiding repeat histological confirmation
