WITHIN THE PAST DECADF. the syndrome now commonly designated as fibrous dysplasia of bone has become increasingly recognized. In I934, Goldhamerl recognized a disease which he characterized as osteodystrophia fibrosa unilateralis with pubertas praecox, and, in the same year, Borak and Doll2 described whatthey called unilateral Recklinghausen's disease of bone with pubertas praecox. Almost simultaneously in this country appeared papers by Lichtenstein, 3 who employed the term" polyostotic fibrous dysplasia," and by Albright, Butler, Hampton and Smith4 and Albright, Scoville and Sulkowitch, 5 who defined the process as a syndrome characterized by osteitis fibrosa disseminata, areas of pigmentation, and endocrine dys-function, with precocious pubertyin females. In 1942, Lichtenstein and Jaffe, 6 published an account of a large number of cases, withdescriptions of their accessory features in addition to the skeletal lesions. The present authors have no intention of again describing the syndronle. Their sole purpose is to place on record two instances of malignant bone tumor arising on the basis of fibrous dysplasia. Heretofore, so far as they know, this event has not been described, although cases doubtless exist. In our first case, initially seen in I929, the syndrome was, quite naturally, not recognized, although thecharacteristic pigmentation is described. Not until about ten years later did this case reach the proper clinicopathologic category.CASE REPORTS Case I.-The patient, JW, No. 40833, was a female, age 42, of Lithuanian ancestry. Her past history was uneventful. Five months prior to admission, she noted slight stiffness in her left shoulder. This increased during the following month and pain developed, especially on motion. Apparently, shefirst noted swelling in the shoulder region about two months after her first symptom. The swelling became pro-gressively worse andtwo weeks prior to admission to the Memorial Hospital, the patient entered another hospital where a presumptive diagnosis of malignant bone tumor was made, whereupon she was referred to Memorial. During the two months prior to admission, the patient had lost about eightpounds in weight, sufferedfrom occasional headaches and complained of a burning sensation over the left anterior chest wall. The pertinent part of the initial examination concerns the local condition and the radiographic findings. The left scapula was the site of a large tumor mass, firm, rounded, nontender, possibly somewhat fluctuant. The entire shoulder region, anterior and posterior chest walls were the site ofa brownish pigmentation which extended upward both anteriorly and posteriorly in the neck region. This pigmentation was essentially unilateral but reached slightly beyond the midline (Figs. I and 2). t There was marked limitation of motion of the left arm; abduction was essentially absent and anteropostero motions were but moderate.
