Abstract
Ten patients with giant cell tumor and/or aneurysmal bone cyst were treated by transcatheter arterial embolization using Gelfoam and coil. Pain relief was observed in seven patients and tumor healing with increased calcification in five patients. Six (60%) of the 10 patients responded to the treatment; five of them became asymptomatic for 14-55 months of follow-up. The complications included one patient with foot drop and one with foot numbness.
