Abstract

Thermal ablation has become a novel method for the treatment of pulmonary nodules, but the short-time evaluation of the ablation effect is mainly based on computed tomography images. We report a case of local tumour residue after microwave ablation, which was confirmed by pathology after lobectomy. This case alerts us that thermal ablation should not be the preferred treatment for operable pulmonary nodules.
