Abstract
This retrospective study describes a pilot experience in CT-guided RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) treatment of 5 Giant Cell Tumour of the bone (GCT) recurrences after surgery. After biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of GCT recurrences, all patients were treated with RFA in a single session. A close follow-up was scheduled with contrast-enhanced MRI starting 1months after treatment. Five lesions were treated in 5 patients. The length of the observation period was between 4 and 100months. One lesion relapsed 4months after the RFA treatment, and the patient underwent a second surgical treatment which included the en-block resection and prosthetic implant. No complications were recorded. The management of GCT relapses with RFA could be an interesting and innovative field. However, the results of this limited series need to be confirmed by further investigations of larger patient cohorts.
