Micropapillary and/or Solid Histologic Subtype Based on Pre-Treatment Biopsy Predicts Local Recurrence After Thermal Ablation of Lung Adenocarcinoma.
To investigate whether histologic subtyping from biopsies can predict local recurrence after thermal ablation for lung adenocarcinoma. ⋯ Micropapillary and/or solid histologic components identified in pre-ablation biopsy are associated with shorter TTLR after thermal ablation of lung adenocarcinoma.

Case ReportsDelayed Bronchocutaneous Fistula Without Pneumothorax Following a Microwave Ablation of a Recurrent Pulmonary Metastasis.
Percutaneous tumor ablations are rather safe and effective treatments in selected patients for non-operable non-small cell lung carcinomas or lung metastases. However, there are major complications such as bronchopleural or bronchocutaneous fistula, which it is important to know in order to manage them safely. We describe in this report a case of bronchocutaneous fistula without pneumothorax following a microwave ablation of a recurrent pulmonary metastasis and its management.
