Abstract
- The therapeutic effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been clinically established, and the procedure is now generally accepted as a curative treatment for very early or early stage HCC. Recently, we observed an aggressive recurrence after RFA for HCC in 50 year-old female. RFA was performed for a 2.7 cm sized HCC, which was completely ablated. However, 7 months later, aggressive intrahepatic recurrence was observed. Herein, we report a case with a discussion.
