title: Tumorous osteomyelitis. Report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases of chronic osteomyelitis with unusual Ewing's like X-ray changes are reported. Inspite of extensive investigations no causative organisms were found. The infection was resistant to different kinds of therapy. The authors suppose that the strange X-ray appearances may be due to an unusual localised immune response of the bone to an unknown, possibly viral agent.
