There is localized dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary radicals of the right hepatic lobe. Two right hepatic lobe necrotic focal lesions were seen as a result of successful radiofrequency ablation done 1 month prior to study.
Case Discussion
Localized fibrosis and stricture formation is one of the complications of radiofrequency ablation from the heat generated.
