Summary:To the editor： Radiofrequency ablation is a potentially curative therapy for primary liver cancer,besides hepatic resection.In this letter, we report on a case of primary liver cancer that was initially treated unsuccessfully with radiofrequency ablation. The tumor was then resected surgically.A 31-year-old woman with a solitary tumor in the left hepatic lobe was evaluated at a tertiary referral hospital. No significant abnormalities were noted on physical and laboratory examination. Computed tomography （CT） showed the presence of an enhanced lesion in the left hepatic lobe （Figure 1A）. A CT-guided core needle biopsy of the lesion established diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
