The fine structure of the giant cells in a case of proliferative myositis was examined by electron microscopy. These cells were found to contain numerous well formed filaments. Similar filaments have occasionally been observed in a variety of tumor cells of non‐myogenic origin. The present electron microscopic study has not resolved the uncertain origin of the giant cells in proliferative myositis. Cancer 33:1543–1547, 1974.
