title: Spontaneous regression of liver metastasis from renal carcinoma.
abstract: Idiopathic regression of metastases from renal carcinoma is rare and usually involves lung metastases in men with a good performance status following removal of the primary tumor. We report a case of spontaneous regression of a biopsy proved liver metastasis that had appeared several months after removal of primary renal carcinoma.
