Introduction:
Background: Giant-cell tumour (GCT) of bone is a benign but aggressive tumour, usually treated by radical surgical curettage. Surgical treatment of GCT involving the ischium is associated with a high local recurrence rate. We describe a case in which serial arterial embolisation and bisphosphonate treatment resulted in radiological healing of the tumour. So far we have avoided surgical treatment. Case Report: A 40-year-old lady was referred to the bone tumour unit following a fall. A plain radiograph of the pelvis revealed a lytic lesion in the ischium, extending into the posterior column of the acetabulum and associated with a pathological fracture. Biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of GCT. Given the anatomic location, the tumour was treated with serial arterial embolisation and intravenous zoledronate infusions. Follow up at one-year shows healing of the lesion, with no radiological evidence of recurrence. The patient has so far avoided surgery. Discussion: Serial arterial embolisation has been described in the treatment of
