Periportal fibrosis secondary to transfusion siderosis in two patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) treated with zidovudine — A confusing ultrasound appearance

We present the confusing sonographic features of periportal fibrosis in two AIDS patients who had zidovudine-induced transfusion siderosis of the liver. To our knowledge this has not been previously reported in the literature. The clinical, pathological and sonographic features are described.
