Patient with stage 4 breast cancer underwent chemotherapy for multiple lung nodules which were considered metastatic lesions from her breast cancer. CT done in August 2007 showed a persistent nodule in the right lung which continued to grow despite chemotherapy. Nodule was biopsied and confirmed to be from the original breast cancer and not a separate new primary malignancy.
Radiofrequency ablation shows needle in the nodule.
Chest xray taken in July 2012 ( 5 years later ) shows no evidence of recurrence.
