An osteosarcoma of the talus occurred in a 21-year-old man. The tumor had been mistaken for a fibrosarcoma, but its osteogenic nature was demonstrated by multiple sectioning of the entire talus. Nineteen months after amputation the patient died from pulmonary metastases. Osteosarcoma in the talus seems not to have been previously reported.
