TREATMENT OF OSTEOCLASTOMA BY RADIATION

Frank Ellis 1

1 The Department of Radiotherapy, The London Hospital, London, England

The problems of diagnosis and treatment of osteoclastoma are considered. The importance of full investigation, and the advantages of drill biopsy in confirming the diagnosis, are discussed. Treatment by radiation is believed to be better than treatment by surgical measures. Curettage and excision are unnecessary. Amputation for benign osteoclastoma is unjustifiable.
