Description/Abstract Benign hepatic tumors and peliosis hepatis developed in a patient who had received androgen therapy for three years.^The tumors were identified by arteriography.^Peliosis hepatis was diagnosed by wedged hepatic venography: to this knowledge, this method has not been previously used to diagnose this condition.^Wedged venography, performed four months after withdrawal of androgen therapy and after liver function had nearly returned to normal, demonstrated morphologic improvement as well.^On the basis of this case and other histologic descriptions of peliosis hepatis, the authors believe that wedged hepatic venography is a simple, sensitive, and specific diagnostic modality.
