Two cases of carcinoma which had developed in chronic fistulating osteomyelitis are presented. In one case the patient was cured by an above-the-knee-amputation. In the other case the patient was also treated by amputation, but died of metastases. The need for active surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis is emphasized.
