1918. A piece of bony tissue about i^ inches longand /4 inch thick. Microscopic examinationshows the tissue to consist essentially of ameshwork of osteoid tissue, the interstices ofwhich are filled with connective tissue or agenerally cell-rich tissue. This cell-rich tissuein places contains many vacuolated cells sug-gesting undifferentiated cartilage cells andosteoblasts. In a few places the osteoid tissuegives place to cartilage. Diagnosis: Osteosarcoma. Reference number: 18-585. (signed) J.Homer Wright. Just how malignant this type of sarcomais must be judged somewhat by the rapid in-volvement of the femur in the eight to nineweeks after onset and from the pathologicalreport that speaks of a generally cell-richtissue. Adami^ describes the indication ofmalignancy in sarcoma as follows: The ^Principles of PatholoRy, Philadelphia, 1908, Vol. I,Chap. XX, p. 700. Thesis presented with application for membership in THE American- Rokntgen Ray Society. 566 Report of a Case of OsteosarcDina

Figs, i, 2, 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the change in the hone.The small round shadows seen in Fig. 5 are arti-facts. Stereoscopic plates taken September 19, 1920,show a perfect medullary cavity and no periostitis. tissue of origin, if it can be determined,should largely influence our diagnosis. Atmost, we can lay down that the more embry-onic the type of cell the greater the presump-tive evidence of malignancy, and that as be-tween two tumors of the same origin themore vegetative the type of cell and thegreater the departure from the adult cellstandard, the greater is the malignancy. The patient came to my office January 14,iQig. Upon examination the mass on thefemur could be easily palpated. This wasdue to the emaciation and size of the growth.The infiltration in the soft tissues seemed toinvolve the ujjper third of the femur, belowthe lesser trochanter. Plate taken at this timeshow^s an area of involvement of the leftfemur, starting 5 cm. below the lesser tro-chanter and involving 12 cm.
