Abstract: The patient was a 18 years old man who complained of pains and swelling over the left knee region. Two months after the onset of the signs, he consulted with a doctor who diagnosed the lesion as osteosarcoma of the left fibula. The roentgenogram showed a ill-defined lytic lesion which was large and involved the proximal epiphysis and metaphysis of the left fibula. High vascularity was admitted by means of angiography. About two years after the amputation, he was died from cerebral metastases in spite of aggresive adjuvant chemotheraphy. Autopsy revealed metastases developed in lung, spine, ribs and cerebrum. The tumor histologically showed large cystic areas filled with clotted blood and the remainning tumor tissues consisted of angiomatoid and osteoid areas.
