| Research Abstract |
Radiofrequency ablation was performed for pulmonary aspergilloma. The procedure was safely done without any adverse events. Serial follow-up CT scan up to 26 months after the procedure showed that ablation zone continued to shrink. At 16 months, biopsy of the ablation zone was performed and revealed that the specimen was consisted mostly of abundant fibrotic tissue and partly of hypha. Thus, this study showed radiofrequency ablation was safe and effective as a treatment of pulmonary aspergilloma.
