Preoperative transarterial Embolisation in bone tumors

Figure 6 Telengectiatic osteosarcoma in a young male managed preoperatively by trans-arterial embolisation. A: Twenty-year-old male with a large eccentric expansile lytic lesion of the right femoral metaphysis which was confirmed to be a telangiectatic osteosarcoma on histopathology; B: Magnetic resonance imaging was performed for tumor staging. The lesion was well circumscribed with no involvement of neurovascular bundle, no satellite lesions and no extension to the hip joint; C: Right common femoral angiogram revealed tumor supply from profunda femoris artery; D: Selective angiogram revealed marked tumor blush; E: Post-Embolisation angiogram after injection of polyvinyl alcohol particles 300-500 μm showed marked reduction in tumor blush.
