A female patient in her 40s who underwent surgery for recurrent right lung metastasis from resected ovarian cancer was referred to our department because of the right pneumothorax due to radiofrequency ablation for multiple lung metastases. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis( MRSE) was detected from the tip of the drainage catheter indicated persistent pulmonary fistula with right empyema, and surgical treatment was performed. A white coat of the whole lung surface and air leakage were observed at radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treated lesion and partial resection of the right lung, debridement, and irrigation were performed.
