A 61-year-old female underwent a right radical nephrectomy and a left nephron sparing surgery in 2014 due to renal cell carcinoma. A renal cell carcinoma local recurrence, 28 mm in size, centrally located in the left kidney was treated using cryoablation in 2016. In November 2018, computed tomography (CT) scan showed three nodules (maximum size 15 × 11 mm) in the left kidney, and CT-guided needle biopsy was performed. For multifocal recurrence and the anatomical site of these three nodules, a simultaneous reversible electrochemotherapy treatment was performed in April 2019. At 6-month CT control, no evidence of residual disease was found. Electrochemotherapy could be used to treat locoregional renal cell carcinoma recurrence when other ablative techniques are not suitable. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4, Case Report.
一位 61 岁女性于 2014 年因肾细胞癌接受了右肾根治性切除术和左肾部分切除术。2016 年,该患者因左肾中央位置大小为 28mm 的肾细胞癌局部复发接受了冷冻消融治疗。2018 年 11 月,计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左肾有三个结节(最大直径 15×11mm),并进行了 CT 引导下的针吸活检。对于多发病灶和这三个结节的解剖位置,2019 年 4 月同时进行了可逆性电化学疗法治疗。6 个月的 CT 随访时,未发现残留疾病。当其他消融技术不适用时,电化学疗法可用于治疗局部复发性肾细胞癌。证据等级:4 级,病例报告。
