Spontaneous resolution of liver tumours is a rare, but recognized entity that has been reported to occur within the spectrum of benign and malignant liver tumours occurring in both adult and paediatric population. The aetiology of this unusual phenomenon is not clearly understood. In this article we present case examples of various benign and malignant liver tumours that have regressed spontaneously without treatment together with a review of the literature, and a summary of the current understanding of the pathogenesis of these tumours.
