Peliosis hepatis associated with oral contraceptive use.

Abstract
A 35 year old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain was found to have peliosis hepatis. This was attributed to oral contraceptive use and 6 month follow up after cessation of oral contraceptives showed these lesions to have reduced in extent.
