What Causes Extremely Fluctuating Liver Enzymes While Having Mass In Liver?

My friend has a 10 cm mass on his liver. His enzymes doubled at very high levels in a month s time. Within 2 weeks his levels returned to normal again. How is this possible? He s still going to have a nuclear blood cell test in a few weeks to zero in on the mass.
