Sumario:A 72-year-old man with intractable left shoulder pain due to bone metastasis from cholangiocellular carcinoma was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography showed an osteoblastic metastatic lesion of the left scapula. Since the pain persisted even after the administration of opioids and external irradiation, microspheres were injected through a catheter; the catheter tip was placed at the arteries feeding the metastatic lesion. After the intervention, the shoulder pain was alleviated without any procedure-related complications, leading to a reduction in the opioid dose. This case suggests the efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization using microspheres for palliating pain from bone metastasis.
