Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation as a palliative treatment for mycosis fungoides eyelid involvement: A case report

Figure 1 Positron emission tomography-computed tomography examination. A: Computed tomography (CT) examination detected enlarged lymph node in the right inguinal region; B: Positron emission tomography (PET) images showed that metabolism was obviously increased in the enlarged lymph node; C: PET-CT fusion image; D: The image of PET in the coronal plane indicated abnormal fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the whole body.

Figure 2 Orbital computed tomography. A: The orbital computed tomography (CT) image in June 2019 showed slightly swelling surrounded the eyes; B: Preoperative orbital CT in April 2020 indicated that left eyeball and extra-ocular muscle were compressed; C: Postoperative orbital CT 3 mo after microwave ablation.

Figure 3 Preoperative sonography of the eyelid mass. A: Preoperative ultrasonography of the eyelid mass; B: Colour Doppler flow imaging showed the mass was rich in blood flow signals; C: Marked contrast enhancement of the mass was observed via contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Figure 4 Pathological examination of the facial skin. A: Magnification: 200 ×; B: Magnification: 400 ×.

Figure 5 Procedure and follow-up of microwave ablation. A: The disposable microwave therapeutic antenna; B: The microwave ablation was performed under ultrasound guidance; C: Ultrasound image showed microwave energy was being released; D: One day before microwave ablation; E: One week after microwave ablation; F: Two weeks after microwave ablation.
