Recurrence in the contralateral lung of patients who have undergone pneumonectomy for lung cancer is often not surgically treatable. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of tumours is an emerging minimally invasive technique which has recently been used in the treatment of lung cancer. The case history is presented of a patient who had previously undergone pneumonectomy in whom recurrence of lung cancer was treated by RFA. The procedure was performed under CT guidance and was uneventful. At follow up 9 months later the tumour appeared to have ablated. To our knowledge, no similar case has previously been reported in the literature.
接受过肺癌肺切除术的患者，其对侧肺复发往往无法通过手术治疗。经皮肿瘤射频消融术（RFA）是一种新兴的微创技术，最近已用于肺癌治疗。本文介绍了一例曾接受肺切除术的患者，其肺癌复发后采用RFA治疗。该手术在CT引导下进行，过程顺利。9个月后的随访显示肿瘤似乎已被消融。据我们所知，此前文献中尚未报道过类似病例。
