title: [Malignant transformation of chronic osteomyelitis and its scar tissue: apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: Three cases of malignant transformation into an epidermoid epithelioma at the site of osteomyelitis, two of the tibia and one of the sacrum, are presented. A review of the literature concerning this rare problem has been made. A larger series of cases is assembled from small series and several case reports found in the literature.
