Core Tip

Core Tip: Peliosis hepatis may be accompanied by malignant transformation. However, it remains unclear whether there is a pathogenetic relationship between these two conditions. The major purpose of this letter is to draw attention to the problem of timely diagnosis of carcinogenesis and prevention of tumor progression against the background of peliosis.
