ABSTRACT
Herein, a 30-year-old Caucasian female who presented with a persistent pain in the right pelvic region due to an enchondroma and treated with RF ablation is described. An initial MRI of the pelvis revealed a well-circumscribed lesion in the right inferior ischiopubic ramus with a maximum diameter of 9.5 mm. The final diagnosis was established by a percutaneous CT-guided bone biopsy, which excluded malignancy and revealed an enchondroma. About a month after the biopsy, a percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the lesion was performed. The symptoms resolved completely gradually 2 months after the treatment and a follow-up imaging with MRI showed complete resolution of the pathological enhancement indicating necrosis of the lesion. RFA has not been previously reported as a treatment option of enchondromas found in flat bones of the pelvis and could be a safe alternative minimally invasive treatment option in such cases, avoiding major operations.
