title: [Parosteal sarcoma of the radius in the course of etretinate therapy].
abstract: A parosteal osteosarcoma of the right radius has developed in a patient treated for a long time by etretinate (total dose: 73 g). If brachial ossifications have been reported to etretinate in 2 cases, they were benign tumours; so coincidence is possible in our case. Nevertheless, a relation between the tumour and the treatment cannot be excluded and justify the report of this observation.
