Abstract
picture of giant-cell tumour shows the multicystic appearance, as before stated, with a loss of continuity of the shaft, and the cortex seems to be distended and thinned out, but leaving a sharp margin which separates the tumour from the soft tissues. Osteitis fibrosa may be confused with benign giant-cell tumour when the condition extends far along the shaft, but the former is not aecompanied by expansion of the bone in a transverse diameter. In the histology of the condition the presence of giant-cells should not form a basis for diagnosis alone, as the type of supporting tumour cell is most important. A fact not sufficiently realized by the occasional examiner of bone tumours is that giant-cells may sometimes occur in osteogenic sarcoma.
