Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Lung microwave ablation (MWA) has been accepted as a treatment of lung cancer alternatively. Severe complications have been reported associated with this kind of thermal ablation. Herein, we present a case of severe complication after lung MWA for curative treatment of adenocarcinoma, comprising pulmonary cavitation evolving into bronchopleural fistula, severe mediastinal emphysema and subcutaneous emphysema, without pneumothorax, which was later successfully fixed with a conservative approach. Keywords:microwave ablation; lung cancer; complication.
