- Abstract
The authors present a case report of a 67-year-old woman who underwent radiofrequency ablation of recurrent hepatic metastases. She was managed 2 years previously with a right hemi-hepatectomy. Subsequent to RF ablation she developed hepatic necrosis extending in a linear fashion to two of the metallic surgical clips at the free edge of the liver, consistent with current arcing.
