Abstract
A bone tumour of intermediate grade malignancy in the skull is describ ed. These tumours are extremely rare and share several histological fe atures with the benign osteoblastomas and low grade osteosarcomas. The y may be associated with local invasion and pulmonary metastases. Trea tment of this tumour in the skull poses several problems in view of it s proximity to the cerebral cortex.
