Spontaneous Regression of Pulmonary and Adrenal Metastases Following Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of a Recurrent Renal Cell Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spontaneous regression of metastatic lesions from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is extremely rare, but may be encountered following cytoreductive treatments. We report a case of a recurrent RCC with multiple metastatic lesions which spontaneously regressed after undergoing radiofrequency ablation of the renal tumor.

Radiofrequency ablation: an alternative treatment method of renal cell carcinoma.
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is a common renal parenchymal malignancy. Although complete or partial nephrectomy is still the gold standard of management, a lot of minimally invasive techniques are currently emerging into the field of treatment. Recently, image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation has received increasing attention and been proposed as an alternation to more invasive procedures such...
متن کاملImage guided tumour ablation
Several different technologies have been employed for the local ablation of tissue by thermal techniques. At the present time the most widely favoured technique is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) but developments in other techniques, e.g. microwave may change this. In many countries RFA or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) are accepted therapies for patients with Childs Pugh Class A or B cirrh...

tal adenocarcinoma. Various types of liver metastases may occur and they can demonstrate intrabiliary tumor growth (1-4). This tumor behavior is not easily detected, and it has rarely been detected using such imaging modalities as enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (5, 6). We report here on a case of intrabiliary growth of a recurrent tumor after percutaneous ...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency ablation for a recurrent metastasis after resection of liver metastases from an ileal clear-cell sarcoma: Long-term local tumor control
Clear-cell sarcomas (CCSs) in the gastrointestinal tract are extremely rare and aggressive tumors. We present the first case of a CCS arising in the ileum and metastasizing to the liver; our patient was a 60-year-old man. After the resection of the CCS and the liver metastases, a new liver metastasis developed, which was treated via percutaneous radiofrequency ablation only. At the 5-year follo...
