A Minimally Invasive Palliative Approach Using Radiofrequency Ablation and Cementoplasty in a Painful Metastatic Acetabular Lesion
Abstract
Up to 75% of patients with advanced metastatic disease experience excruciating pain that affects their daily life. We elaborate on a case of a 63-year-old male with Stage IV squamous cell lung carcinoma with advanced osseous metastatic lesions who presented with symptoms of ambulatory dysfunction due to a lesion in the right acetabulum. This case report demonstrates how radiofrequency ablation can offer pain relief through meticulous ablation of a metastatic lesion without the necessity and negative side effects of external beam radiation.
