Abstract
TRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) is frequently used to treat small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with similar outcome to surgery [13]. The procedure is relatively safe, with low morbidity and mortality rates [4-6]. The most common major complications are both intrahepatic (bleeding, abscess and biliary injury) and extra-hepatic (peritoneal bleeding, gastrointestinal perforation, pleural effusion) [7-9]. We report a successfully managed case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) after RFA of a left liver lobe HCC.
