Retroperitoneal hematoma postpercutaneous MW ablation of RCC. CECT images of a large retroperitoneal hematoma developing on postprocedure day 11 after percutaneous MW ablation of a 3.5 cm RCC. Small, stable subcapsular hematoma evident immediately postablation; tumor indicated by arrows (A) and on postablation day 1 (B).
