Usefulness of Gd-EOB-DTPA Liver Dynamic MRI for Diagnosing Peliosis Hepatis Mimicking a Solitary Hepatic Mass with Central Necrosis: A Case Report

Abstract

Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign disease of the liver and is characterized by the dilatation of the sinusoids of the liver parenchyma. Here, we present a rare case of PH presenting as a solitary mass with a large central cystic change mimicking a solitary hepatic malignant neoplasm. In addition, we review the literature, focusing on the particular usefulness of the Gd-EOB-DTPA hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.
