Spontaneous complete necrosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Copyright policy )Spontaneous complete necrosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
We report a 69-yr-old female with a liver mass which, when surgically resected, was believed to be the spontaneous complete necrosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. The preoperative level of alpha-fetoprotein was high at 1050 ng/ml, and the mass was grossly an encapsulated nodular lesion with septa. Histologically, no viable tumor cells were demonstrated. The alpha-fetoprotein level decreased to a normal range. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient is alive and well 1 yr after surgery.
