Aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine: evolution after particulate embolization.

Abstract

A case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine treated with serial particulate embolization responded with involution of soft-tissue and cystic components and diffuse ossification of the mass. Reappearance of foci of bony rarefaction or cystic change at 4-year follow-up indicates the need for continued surveillance.
