Abstract
Abstract Objectives To explore the value of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with puncture and aspiration in the intrauterine treatment of fetal sacrococcygeal cystic and solid teratoma. Case presentation A 27-year-old pregnant woman was diagnosed with a cystic and solid tumor in the fetal sacrococcygeal region at 25 weeks of gestation. As the tumor grew, our clinical team creatively performed ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with puncture and aspiration at 28 weeks of gestation, followed by puncture and aspiration only at 32 weeks of gestation, to reduce the tumor volume and control its growth rate. The fetus grew safely to term and underwent surgical excision of the tumor after 7 days of birth with a favorable prognosis. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with puncture and aspiration is a safe and effective method for the treatment of fetal sacrococcygeal cystic-solid teratoma.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
