Giant cell tumors of the bone (GCTB) are aggressive neoplasms, with rare occurrences in the posterior pelvis and sacral area. Surgical challenges in this region include the inability to apply a tourniquet and limited cementation post-curettage due to proximity to neurovascular structures, leading to potential complications. This case-control study explores the impact of preoperative embolization on GCTB located in the iliosacral region.
