ted in this paperwas that of a woman forty years of age,giving a historv^ of a slight injury one yearbefore. Had an injury to arm from gettingup from a chair, and the roentgenogramtaken shortly afterwards revealed the con-dition found on Fig. 18. The arm was im-mobilized and put at rest; nevertheless, wefind that the print from roentgenogram asrepresented by Fig. 19, taken one monthlater, shows no sign of repair. The diseasedbone was then removed and a bone graftwas inserted. Fig. 20, taken three monthsafter operation, shows the result. In differential diagnosis, especially fromthe last two cases reported, sarcoma mustfirst be excluded. In sarcoma, we findextreme rarefaction, the expansive char-acter, its irregular progression, often theindefinite outlines, its opacity, its earlyrupture through the periosteum and theinvolvement of the surrounding soft parts.Clinically, the early appearance of pain, in-terference with function and the more rapidgrowth will usuallv aid in the diagnosis.
