CT Chest: Numerous pulmonary nodules are identified throughout both lungs that are too numerous to count, almost all of which are subcentimeter but the largest of which measure up to 9 mm; prominent mediastinal lymphadenopathy
CT Pelvis: 1. 8.3 x 7.9 x 4.8 cm hypervascular, enhancing, heterogeneous mass with calcifications is seen in the right kidney associated with stranding of the peri-nephretic fat, thickening of the peri-renal fascia
2. 7 x 2 x 4.3 cm hypervascular soft tissue mass is seen in the right iliac bone which is expansile, destructive of the cortex on both sides, and extends to the acetabulum and its cortex. There is involvement and invasion of the adjacent right iliacus and right gluteus minimus muscles
Bone Scan: increased tracer uptake through the right acetabulum; expansile destructive osseous metastatic lesion, which is infiltrating posteriorly into the right ilium and also into the right anterior iliac crest; no evidence of additional osseous metastases
MRI: lytic lesion in the right iliac wing extending into the roof of the acetabulum

Differential for Renal Mass:• Simple cyst
–Most common renal mass; present in up to 50% of the population over the age of 50– sharply demarcated from adjacent parenchyma– homogenous in appearance– rounded with imperceptible walls–does not enhance with contrast
•Solid Masses–Angiomyolipoma: Associated with tuberous sclerosis; macroscopic fat by CT; predisposed to hemorrhage–Oncocytoma: originates from the epithelium of the distal tubules or collecting ducts; characteristic central stellate scar
•Renal Cell Carcinoma–Most common primary renal malignancy– Originates from the epithelium of the proximal tubule–Peak incidence in adults in their 50s; male predominance–Classic triad of flank pain, a flank mass, and hematuria (<10% of cases)–By CT, they tend to be rounded soft-tissue masses, enhancing after IV contrast– Often homogenous when small; more heterogeneous when larger, frequently with necrosis and often with calcifications (up to 30%)–Propensity to spread into the renal veins and beyond

Treatment:•Patient was treated with EBR and pain medications, but continued to complain of severe right extremity discomfort.• Decision made to pursue cryoablation.
Percutaneous Cryoablation:• Useful tool in the palliative treatment of musculoskelatal metastases• Accomplished by inserting cryoprobes into malignant tissue under imaging guidance•Rapid cooling of the cryoprobes through the Joule-Thompson effect (i.e. adiabatic gas expansion changes the temperature of the gas inside the probes)•Freezing and thawing phases•Leads to the removal of heat from the tissue, cellular injury by the formation of ice crystals and creation of unfavorable microenvironment
