  • Title: Transhemangioma ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Author: Pua U.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2012 Dec; 35(6):1515-8. PubMed ID: 22722718.
    Abstract:
    Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a well-established treatment modality in the treatment of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [1]. Safe trajectory of the RFA probe is crucial in decreasing collateral tissue damage and unwarranted probe transgression. As a percutaneous technique, however, the trajectory of the needle is sometimes constrained by the available imaging plane. The presence of a hemangioma beside an HCC is uncommon but poses the question of safety related to probe transgression. We hereby describe a case of transhemangioma ablation of a dome HCC.
