A 71-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)underwent hepatectomy at another hospital in 200X. In 200X+ 7, +9, and +10, radiofrequency ablation(RFA)was performed for HCC recurrence. In 200X+11, he complained of a mass at the right site of the thoracic wall. After further examination, he was diagnosed with needle-tract implantation after RFA. We performed tumorectomy via a thoracotomy. Twelve months after the operation, he is alive with no recurrence. In case of needle-tract implantation after RFA, it is important to consider the possibility of surgical resection for local control.

Background: At present, it is known that there is a possibility of pleural cavity and needle tract implantation metastasis after lung cancer puncture biopsy, but clinicians have not paid attention to this phenomenon, and the probability of occurrence is unknown. In this study, we aimed to study the probability of implantation metastasis after peripheral lung cancer biopsy.
Methods: The intraoperative isolated completely collapsed fresh intact human lung lobes of 30 patients with peripheral lung cancer were taken, and the tumor body was punctured.

Background: Metastatic carcinoma of the thyroid gland is a rare encounter in clinical practice, but autopsy series showed that it is not so rare. Thyroid metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare and has a poor prognosis. We herein report a rare case of solitary thyroid metastasis from rectal cancer combined with needle tract implantation after fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid nodule and review the relevant literature.

An 11-year-old neutered female Golden Retriever was referred for investigation of marked increases in liver enzyme activities. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large pedunculated liver mass. Diagnosis of hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) was made when the mass was excised after a first unsuccessful attempt through ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy.

Backgruound: There have concerns related with the potential harms of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). We aimed to summarize the clinical complications and evaluate the safety of FNAB.
Methods: Studies related with the harms of FNAB were searched on MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane library, and KoreaMed from 2012 to 2022.

A man in his 60s underwent percutaneous biopsy and cryoablation of a right upper pole clear cell renal cell carcinoma followed by repeat cryoablation 8 months later for possible residual disease. The patient was followed with imaging with documented stability for 19 months after repeat ablation. However, imaging at 32 months demonstrated intrahepatic nodular enhancing lesions along the initial percutaneous biopsy and ablation tract, consistent with metastatic implantation.
