Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Lung:

1. A B Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Lung: This 50 year-old female with multiple treated metastases from uveal melanoma developed a solitary left lung metastasis. Given her excellent performance status but limited life expectancy, she was referred for RFA. In the prone position, the nodule is identified (Arrow, A).

Two years after ablation, she succumbed to her unrelenting hepatic metastases. C
