MALIGNANT OSTEOCLASTOMA

Report of a Case

J. A. P. Cameron 1; and A. T. H. Marsden 1

1 Division of Pathology, Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur

A case is described of malignant osteoclastoma of the lower end of the femur in which death occurred from pulmonary metastases. The history was short and there was no interference with the primary growth, treatment being confined to disarticulation at the hip. Reasons are given for considering this neoplasm a malignant osteoclastoma rather than an osteogenic sarcoma, and the question of nomenclature is discussed.
