Preoperative transarterial Embolisation in bone tumors

Figure 3 Embolisation of left proximal tibial giant cell tumor in a 29-year-old male. A: Twenty-nine-year-old male with an eccentric expansile lytic lesion of the left proximal tibial epiphysis extending to the subarticular surface which proved to be a giant cell tumor on histopathology; B: Left common femoral angiogram revealed prominent arterial feeders from the superficial femoral artery with marked tumor blush; C: Angiogram obtained after Embolisation with polyvinyl alcohol particles 300-500 μm shows considerable reduction in tumor blush; D: Postoperative radiographs (AP and lateral) reveal bone cements placed in the defect with multiple screws and fixation plates.
