主　　题：Radio frequency ablation Partial splenectomy Abscess Hydatid disease 

摘      要：Radiofrequency ablation （RFA） is an innovative technique used primarily for the palliative treatment of unresectable liver tumors. Its therapeutic indications however, have been expanded and now include various other organs and diseases. There is a paucity of data regarding technical details and complications of the use of RFA in the spleen. We report a case of partial splenectomy using radiofrequency ablation for splenic hydatid disease, complicated by an abscess formation.
