The imaging findings of Peliosis hepatis on gadoxetic acid enhanced MRI.

ABSTRACT

Peliosis hepatis involves multiple blood-filled cystic spaces in the hepatic parenchyma. Using conventional imaging, distinguishing PH from other malignancies can be difficult. The findings of Peliosis hepatis on gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging are not well reported. Therefore, we report the imaging features of pathologically proven PH. On the hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB magnetic resonance imaging, most lesions showed unenhanced areas, but some lesions showed central enhancement "halo sign."
