Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is a promising technique for treating small left hepatic lesions, particularly where ablation via percutaneous route is deemed to be technically difficult. Herein, we report a case of a 64-year-old cirrhotic patient with caudate lobe hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent EUS-RFA, resulting in complete ablation of the tumor and also review the related literature.
