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

This is a retrospective study of 14 cases from clinical records and the Bone Tumour Registry over the last 20 years. The mean follow-up time was 27 months (3 to 60). Two of the cases were referred elsewhere for final treatment and the relevant clinical records were obtained by correspondence with the treating doctor. Most tumours occurred about the knee, with two in the distal femur and five involving the proximal tibial metaphysis. Three were in the forearm and one in the humerus. Once diagnosis had been made on clinical and radiological grounds, the tumours were curetted. Cryosurgery was used in four cases and phenol in two. Structural integrity was restored by autogenous bone grafting in most cases. Two of these were vascularised free grafts. Two patients had arthrodeses (one ischiofemoral and one wrist) and two were referred for custom-made joint replacements. There was only one local recurrence. Of the adverse outcomes, three required late amputations, one for varus malunion and recurrence, and two for nonunion and chronic sepsis.

Benign aggressive tumors are common and can be debilitating for patients especially if they are in peri-articular regions or cause pathological fracture as is common for
