A rare case of high‐grade surface osteosarcoma of the left ilum is reported. Trephine biopsy performed on a 31‐year‐old woman suffering from a huge tumor of the left buttock revealed high‐grade osteosarcoma, and hemipel‐vectomy was undertaken. The surgical specimen showed that the tumor was present on the surface of the left ilium. Ten months after the operation, the patient died of brain metastasis. From these results, we considered this case to be one of high‐grade surface osteosarcoma. ACTA PATHOL JPN 38: 235 ‐240, 1988.
