Cryoablation of cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases are relatively rare. Surgical resection is the main treatment for cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis, but it is not always possible. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report our initial experience with cryoablation of a cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis from liver cancer. As the cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis was located close to the heart, about 200 mL of 0.9% saline was injected into the pericardium to separate the heart from the target area. The cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis was successfully ablated, without any complications. CONCLUSIONS Cryoablation may be a suitable alternative treatment for cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis.

متن کاملLymph Node Enlargement in Neck Filariasis as a Rare Cause: A Case Report
Lymphatic filariasis is endemic to tropical countries and is the most common cause of acquired lymphedema in the world. Wuchereria bancrofti is the main etiological agent responsible.
