A case of pulmonary metastasis of giant cell tumor of bone presenting as pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
2015, Journal of the Formosan Medical AssociationCitation Excerpt :To the best of our knowledge, cases of pulmonary metastases presenting as a hypervascular mass with feeding vessels like a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation have not been reported. Although our patient had a “benign” metastasis to the lung, about 5% of GCT patients have malignant transformation.13 About half of these cases are associated with previous irradiation.15

2010, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :One month after the embolotherapy, computed tomography confirmed occlusion of the PAVM. Until the late 1970s, the only treatment of PAVM was surgical resection (7, 8). Today, transcatheter embolization with microcoils is a standard choice for occlusion of PAVMs, which preserves lung tissue from destructive lobectomy or arterial ligations.

2003, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :We did not proceed to pulmonary angiography in our patient, as aberrant vessels were identified and embolized on selective bronchial catheterization and arteriography. Interestingly hemoptysis recurred within 1 month of embolization, confirming other experiences suggesting early benefit of bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis, but with a significant recurrence rate [6]. Traumatic pulmonary AVMs should be suspected in any patient who has massive hemoptysis, previous penetrating chest trauma, and evidence of a persistent metallic foreign body on chest roentgenogram.
