title: Regression of multiple hepatic masses in a young patient with thalassaemia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report a young girl with thalassaemia who showed development and regression of multiple hepatic masses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The tumours, detected 3 years after allogeneic bone-marrow transplantation, showed progressive reduction in size and number following a phlebotomy program to treat iron overload.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The detailed CT, MRI and histological findings are described.
