| Résumé : | Liver vascular lesions may occur in women on oral contraceptives. We report here spontaneous liver haemorrhage caused by peliosis hepatis, occuring in a 47-year old patient. She used oral contraceptives for many years. A computerized tomography and a magnetic resonance of the abdomen revealed a subcapsular liver hematoma without hemoperitoneum. Treatment consisted of supportive care with favourable clinical outcome. This observation point out a severe complication of peliosis hepatis. The authors review the etiology, diagnosis, complications, treatment and potential role of estrogen/progesterone supplementation as an etiological factor, in peliosis hepatis. |
