Computed tomography-guided microwave ablation therapy for pediatric adrenal neuroblastoma with lung nodule a case report
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 presentationA 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.
ConclusionsThis case suggests that MWA could be a valuable addition to existing treatment options for solid lesions in children.
