Herein, we describe a case of a 63-year-old male who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy of a suspicious lesion in the prostate followed by focal laser ablation. Radical prostatectomy was performed 15 months following focal laser ablation for persistent cancer adjacent to the treatment zone. We provide images from the initial MRI, postablation MRI, and the whole-mount radical prostatectomy specimen. The present case demonstrates the confined, localized effect of focal laser ablation, and also illustrates the advantage of expanded treatment margins.
