Long-term survival with tumor regression in androgen-induced liver tumors.

McCaughan GW, Bilous MJ, Gallagher ND.

Two patients with androgen-induced liver tumors, one of whom had been partially
treated by a liver resection, are reported. Hepatocellular carcinoma was
diagnosed on histologic grounds. The patients had been receiving androgen therapy
for primary diagnoses of either hypopituitarism or paroxysmal nocturnal
hemoglobinuria. After androgen withdrawal, both are alive and well with no
evidence of residual tumor 10 and 14 years after diagnosis, respectively.
