Direct Cryosurgery for Inoperable Metastatic Disease of the Lung

A 50-year-old woman presented with dyspnea associated with two isolated metastases in the right lung, which was 1 year after the resection of a primary pleomorphic fibrous histiocytoma from her left thigh. At a planned thoracotomy, the tumor was found to be advanced, contraindicating lobectomy. We aimed to completely destroy the tumor by applying cryosurgery.
