Cryoablation has been used for removal of solid cancers in selected settings. We describe its application in a patient who was diagnosed with diffuse large cell lymphoma. A residual lymphoma lesion involving the right adrenal gland, still PET-positive after multiple lines of chemotherapy, was eradicated with the use of cryoablation. The patient is alive and in complete response at last follow-up, over 4 years from the procedure. Our data suggest that cryoablation may have a role also in the setting of lymphoma.

Abstract
Cryoablation has been used for removal of solid cancers in selected settings. We describe its application in a patient who was diagnosed with diffuse large cell lymphoma. A residual lymphoma lesion involving the right adrenal gland, still PET-positive after multiple lines of chemotherapy, was eradicated with the use of cryoablation. The patient is alive and in complete response at last follow-up, over 4 years from the procedure. Our data suggest that cryoablation may have a role also in the setting of lymphoma.
