Abstract

Four patients, two of them former caisson workers, had malignant tumors of bone associated with bone infarcts in the femur. One of the tumors was osteogenic sarcoma and the other three were malignant fibrous histiocytomas. Despite amputation and other treatment, only one patient survived.
