| Abstract: | We present a case of liver abscess complicating radiofrequency ablation of a biopsy-proven liver metastasis in a patient with pancreatic cancer who was previously treated with a Whipple procedure. Management included prolonged percutaneous drainage of the abscess and afferent loop with subsequent surgical correction of afferent limb obstruction. ©2010 BC Decker Inc. All rights reserved. |
