The purpose of this article is to retrospectively evaluate the long‐term outcome of patients treated with percutaneous thermoablation for renal cell carcinomas that have arisen in kidney grafts. Between April 2008 and February 2011, we treated 3 patients with renal cell carcinoma on a transplanted kidney: 2 cases were treated with high‐intensity focused ultrasonography and 1 patient with radio frequency ablation. Postprocedural ultrasonography did not reveal any complications, and contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography showed an avascular area in the treated nodules. None of the patients had recurrent tumors during a long‐term clinical and radiologic follow‐up (81, 73, and 43 months, respectively).
