Peliosis of the liver and spleen is a rare benign condition characterized by dilatation of sinusoidal blood-filled spaces. The imageology of hepatic peliosis resembles hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic metastases and hemangioma. We report a case of hepatic peliosis imitating metastases on CT. The patient was 26-year-old man who previously had a splenectomy and retroperitoneal paraganglioma surgically removed. Peliosis must be considered a potential differential diagnosis of hypodense foci of the liver seen on CT
