Peliosis of the spleen with intraperitoneal hemorrhage

Abdom Imaging. 1993;18(3):283-5. doi: 10.1007/BF00198124.

Abstract

We encountered a patient with steroid-related peliosis of the spleen, a rare disease characterized by multiple blood-filled cavities in the splenic parenchyma, with spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage. The ultrasonographic, computed tomographic, and angiographic images were compared with pathologic findings of the material obtained surgically.
