[Radiofrequency ablation of recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a case report].
A 45-years-old patient with recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma 3 years after resection is described. 2 sessions of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) were performed and complete destruction of the tumor was achieved. The patient was followed-up for 15 months by means of power-Doppler, CT and tumor markers. No local or heterotopic recurrences were observed. The case demonstrates the possibilities of RFA in the management of postoperative recurrences of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and confirms the significance of the method in the complex approach to the liver tumors.
