摘要

Background

Solid lung lesions are common in clinical practice, and percutaneous thermal ablation has been shown to be an effective treatment for these lesions. While computed tomography (CT)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) therapy is frequently used for adult solid lesions, it is rarely considered for pediatric cases.

Case presentation

A case of an 8-year-old child with adrenal neuroblastoma and a left upper lung mass. The child successfully underwent lung mass ablation and experienced a long-term progression-free period with good recovery and no recurrence.

Conclusions

This case suggests that MWA could be a valuable addition to existing treatment options for solid lesions in children.
