  • Published:
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Outpatient CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a pulmonary metastasis followed by surgical resection and histopathological analysis was performed in a 72-year-old lady suffering from a peritoneal leiomyosarcoma. Histological workup 3 weeks post-ablation showed complete devitalization of the metastasis. This case report demonstrates that complete thermal destruction of a pulmonary metastasis by percutaneous image-guided RFA is possible.
