Centering and not tiling a background image in a table?

Hi everyone...this is my first post of probably many involving HTML questions...

I have a table that I want to use a background on but the table size is dynamic and changes depending on the text with the table so what I want is to have the image (that is smaller than the table) to always be centered in one particular cell of a table and have it not tiled so it always appears like this..

image = background image and ignore the white lines!

___________
|__________|
|__________|
|___image__|
|__________|
|__________|

even if the table grows to be as big as this:

_____________________
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|_______image________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|
|____________________|

You get the idea. I hope I did a good job trying to explain what I want to happen and hope you can help. All the other posts I've seen have been about a background for an entire page and not a specific cell within a table.
