Tumour seeding after percutaneous cryoablation for hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 5 Patient treated with sorafenib plus cryoablation and transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation for hepatocellular carcinoma seeding (case 7). A: Complete ablation of the subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma (arrowhead); B: Multiple, small, intraperitoneal seeded nodules (white arrows); C: Seeded nodules were treated with cryoablation (black arrows) plus sorafenib; D: Recurrence of seeding (white arrow); E: The recurrent seeding was treated with cryoablation (black arrows); F: The seeding was also treated with transarterial chemoembolisation (white arrow). Six months later, there was no further recurrence.
