Abstract: A spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma is an extremely rare phenomenon. A 69-year-old Japanese man with hepatitis C virus-related chronic hepatitis presented with a liver tumor. We diagnosed the tumor to be hepatocellular carcinoma in the course of spontaneous regression, by imaging studies and changes in the tumor markers. Because the possible presence of viable cancer cells could not be ruled out, we recommended surgery. He refused all treatments at first, but finally agreed to undergo surgery about 10 months after presentation. A hepatectomy was performed. Histologically, no viable tumor cells were found. In our case, the vascularity of the tumor according to the imaging findings was followed up during the clinical course. The patient is now doing well and without any evidence of recurrence at 37 months after surgery.

Abstract: Infections can be the causative agent in secondary nephrotic syndrome and diagnostic criteria include clinical and laboratory data and tissue molecular analysis. As for bacterial infections, some of patients with poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-related glomerulonephritis present nephrotic syndrome. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a well known cause of membranous glomerulonephritis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV), besides cryoglobulinemia-mediated glomerulonephritis, is reported to cause other forms of glomerulonephritis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is closely related to a collapsing focal segmental glomerulonephritis. Some of patients with these viral infections present nephrotic syndrome. There were a few reports on secondary nephrotic syndrome induced by cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and parvovirus B19.
