This patient in Case 7 is in perfecthealth, the x-rays of the chest show nometastasis; she is suffering no pain. Itis important to note that in Case 1 andin Case 4, both sarcomas, pain was aprominent symptom, and in Case 5 theexcessive ossification of an amputationstump, pain was also a prominentsymptom. In Dr. Le Contes patientthere is no difficulty in walking, butflexion in the knee-joint is somewhatrestricted. Remarks on Case 7: Were it not forthe evidence of sarcoma in the ossify-ing growth in Case 1 and the probable. Fig-. 16—Pathol. No. 800. Case osteoma, or ossifying myosi-tis of upper end of humerus.

From my study of the situation up todate it seems to me that the only treat-ment in Le Contes case is what used in his—amputation. In patient the excessive bone forma- tion was only apparent many yearsafter amputation, in Le Contes caseit was gradual since November, 1919,three years ago. We have, therefore,no evidence that this excessive boneformation will cease, and we must alsobear in mind the possibility of Baers case the stump was useless foran artificial limb, in Dr. Le Contespatient, if bone formation continues,there will be gr
