title: [Extensive, diffuse haemangiomatosis of the skeleton (author's transl)].
abstract: The roentgenological appearance and the clinical course of a case of diffuse skeletal haemangiomatosis are described. Megavoltage radiotherapy was given to several areas involved, including parts of the vertebral column; the treatment led to an improvement of bone pain and of neurological symptoms caused by cord compression. The differential diagnosis and the suggestion of Karlin and Brower (1977) to make a distinction between "multiple primary hemangiomas" and "diffuse cystic angiomatosis" of bone are discussed.
