Percutaneous RFA was applied on a 57-year-old female ADPKD patient. The tumor was 5.2 cm in diameter and endophytically located in the posterior medial part of the left kidney. The tumor was completely ablated after two sessions of PRFA. a contrast-enhanced CT (arterial phase) obtained before PRFA showed enhancement of the tumor (black star). b CEUS shows the outline of the tumor (black star) before RFA. c CEUS was applied right after the final session of ablation and absence of enhancement was found in the tumor’s location (black star). d contrast-enhanced CT (arterial phase) obtained 1 year after final session of ablation shows absence of enhancement, indicating complete tumor necrosis (black star)
