A case of advanced primary reticulum cell sarcoma of the skull is reported and its dramatic response to radiotherapy Is described. The lesion is an uncommon one and a survey of the literature revealed only four such cases previously documented. The condition responds well to radiotherapy with a good ultimate prognosis, and because of this it is important to distinguish the condition from secondary disease.
