Giant cell tumors of bone are rare, characterized by their local aggressiveness and high risk of local recurrence. For tumors located in challenging anatomical such as sacrum, the surgical management is very difficult because of extensive bone destruction and the complexity of anatomical region. Advances in medical management of this disease have also demonstrated promise as an effective and alternative treatment. We reported a case of 14 years old boy, who is affected by sacral GCT revealed by lumbago-sciatica. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical biopsy followed by anatomopathological examination. Arterial embolization was made because the tumor was unresectable and we noticed a good radio-clinical evolution. Embolization could be proposed as standard treatment for patients with incomplete excision or where surgery would induces functional deficits.
