title: Radiofrequency ablation of recurrent fibromatosis.
abstract: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation has received increasing attention as a promising technique for treating focal malignant disease and is a safe and effective technique for tumor control. The authors report a case in which RF ablation was performed in a woman with recurrent fibromatosis of the lower back who refused further surgery. Satisfactory results were obtained at long-term follow-up, with no recurrence of tumor.
