Summary:The treatment of three cases of aneurysmal bone cyst by selective arterial embolism is described. Two cases had involvement of the pelvis and one of the knee. The 2-year follow up has been promising. Radiologically the lesion has been arrested with increased density of the cyst wall and intra-cystic trabecular new bone formation. Pain relief has been complete and up to now no surgical treatment has been required.
