A 66-year-old male patient with extra-abdominal desmoid (EAD) tumor of the neck/cervical spine treated with percutaneous cryoablation (CA) (patient no. 4). (a,b) Sagittal gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted MR images prior to and 6 months after CA treatment, respectively. The desmoid tumor (DT) is well-delineated and homogeneously enhanced before CA. Six months after treatment, the DT has shrunk, and no residual tumor enhancement is seen; (c,d) Sagittal-reformatted CT images show several cryoprobes (19 in total) placed within the DT with the ice-ball (hypodense region) formation visible at the end of the second freezing cycle.
