ABSTRACT

Peliosis hepatis (PH) and sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen are uncommon benign lesions. Diagnosis can be difficult in some patients. Herein, we present the case of a 28-year-old woman referred with abdominal pain who had spleen lesions. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography revealed multiple non-FDG avid lesions in the liver and hypermetabolic lesions in the spleen. In addition, abdominal magnetic resonance imaging was performed. Histopathology revealed sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation in the spleen and PH in the liver.
