Abstract Peliosis hepatis (PH) is an uncommon benign vascular disorder characterized by widespread blood-filled cysts in the liver. This disease was first described by Wagner in 1861, and because the liver lesions were generally red or blue-purple, it was first named PH by Schoenlack in 1916 [1]. The etiology of PH is not completely clear now, which is mainly related to drug factors, immune factors, and infections. The diagnosis of PH is difficult because of the lack of specific clinical manifestations and imaging features. Pathological biopsy represents the gold standard in diagnosis of PH [2]. The treatment of PH varies from person to person and no consensus has been reached, including the removal of pathogenic factors, hepatic artery embolization, hepatectomy, etc. [3,4]. Liver transplantation (LT) may be the best treatment for PH with fatal complications [5,6]. This study described a rare case of recurrence of PH after LT.
