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.
