[A case of successful management of recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by repeated radiofrequency ablations].
A 67-year-old man with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) underwent an extended right hepatectomy. Approximately, during the next 20 months after the operation, the patient underwent 6 times of radiofrequency ablation for solitary recurrence of ICC. He has survived for 26 months after hepatic resection with PS 0. Radiofrequency ablation for solitary recurrence of ICC may be effective for a good prognosis.
