Résumé
Interventional radiology techniques - vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty - are part of the therapeutic arsenal in oncology. They are not, however, antitumoural by themselves. A combination of these techniques with an antitumoral treatment is thus required. We present the case of a patient with a spinal metastasis who received antitumor vertebroplasty without additional treatment. The follow-up has found a tumour development around the cement. This case illustrates the need for a complementary antitumor treatment following a consolidative procedure. Many combinations of treatment and techniques have been published; however, no study reached a sufficient proof of efficiency for any combination to be recommended. Prospective trials are needed to guide clinicians.
