Combined treatment of ablative therapy with percutaneous radiofrequency and cementoplasty of a symptomatic metastatic lesion of the acetabulum.
We report the case of a symptomatic metastatic lesion of the acetabulum from colon adenocarcinoma in an 82-year-old woman patient treated by a combined approach of thermal ablation with percutaneous radiofrequency and cementoplasty. We obtained an immediate technical success with a good control of pain without any complications at a 6-month clinical follow-up.
