A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. Following the adrenalectomy, she underwent adjuvant radiation and mitotane therapy; however, liver metastases were observed. Repeated radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was performed for liver metastases. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach combining systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery was used for lung and distant lymph node metastases that arose during the course of treatment. Notably, 49 months have passed since the adrenalectomy and 36 months since the recurrence of the liver metastases, and the patient remains on multidisciplinary therapy. Thus, RFA for liver metastasis of adrenocortical carcinoma may be an effective component of a multidisciplinary treatment.
