title: [Recurrent lung cancer with interstitial pneumonia treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation].
abstract: We performed computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for postoperative recurrent pulmonary metastases developed in a 77-year-old man with interstitial pneumonia. He had received left upper segmentectomy with ND 2a nodal dissection. RFA was safely performed for pulmonary metastases in right S6 and left S6. There was no evidence to suggest any deterioration on interstitial pneumonia, including KL 6 and CT findings. Autopsy revealed residual cancer cells in peripheral lesion in 1 of 2 tumors treated by RFA. Although RFA is palliative, it is a promising treatment for local control of pulmonary malignancy in high-risk patients.
