A case of a 46‐year‐old Japanese male having fibrosarcoma of bone is reported. The tumor developed in the proximal metaphysis of the left femur. During the three years following onset of the disease with symptoms of local pain and mass, the patient was operated on three times (curettage and bone graft, curettage and bone graft with Jwett's nail fixation and disarticulation). The tumor was found to be an intraosseous translucent lesion on x‐ray examination. Histologically, the tumor consisted of compact or loose, atypical spindle cells, producing abundant collagen‐fibers without any osteoid, bony or cartilage formation. From the clinical and pathological findings, this case is thought to be a typical central fibrosarcoma of bone. ACTA PATH. JAP. 29 : 479–484. 1979.
