Treatments for pure ground-glass nodules (GGNs) include limited resection; however, surgery is not always possible in patients with limited pulmonary functional reserve. In such patients, cryoablation may be a suitable alternative to treat a pure GGN. Here, we report our initial experience with cryoablation of a pure GGN that remained after repeated surgical resection in a patient with multiple GGNs. A 5-mm-sized pure GGN in the left lower lobe was cryoablated successfully without recurrence at the 6-month follow-up.
纯磨玻璃结节(GGN)的治疗方法包括局限性切除;然而,对于肺功能储备有限的患者,手术并非总是可行。在此类患者中,冷冻消融可能是治疗纯GGN的合适替代方法。在此,我们报告了对一名患有多个GGN的患者进行反复手术切除后残留的纯GGN进行冷冻消融的初步经验。左肺下叶一个5毫米大小的纯GGN成功进行了冷冻消融,6个月随访时无复发。
