We report a @entity157 that appeared to undergo spontaneous regression twice. On June 5, 1995, two @entity157 were detected by ultrasonography in a 72-year-old @entity1 . On July 1, 1995, the @entity5 in the lateral segment had increased in size from 2.0 cm to 3.2 cm in 27 days, and the level of @entity160 ( @entity160 ) had increased from 743 to 1300 ng/ml. On September 22, 1995, one @entity5 appeared as a @entity75 on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. It was 3.9 cm in size and located in the posterior segment. The other was a 3.9-cm cystic mass located in the lateral segment. The @entity5 in the posterior segment was treated with an emulsion of @entity1259 and @entity4831 administered via the posterior branch of the right hepatic artery and percutaneous @entity1068 injection. The @entity5 in the lateral segment was kept under observation because it was avascular, had regressed to 2.0 cm in size, and the @entity1 's @entity160 level had decreased to 237 ng/ml by December 5, 1995. By February 21, 1996, the @entity160 level had increased again to 105,340 ng/ml, and by March 22, 1996, the @entity5 had increased in size to 3.8 cm. However, it later regressed again to 1.6 cm, and the @entity160 level decreased spontaneously to 7 ng/ml. From the changes in the contrast-enhanced computed tomographic images, and the level of @entity160 , we cannot rule out the possibility that the spontaneous regression might have been caused by the @entity5 's rapid growth.
