Abstract
PURPOSE: Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare pure congenital red cell aplasia, usually presenting in infancy or early childhood. The literature suggests a predisposition to haemopoietic malignancy but in addition solid tumours have been reported, with five cases of osteosarcoma described. PATIENT: A sixth case of a 12-year-old girl with DBA who developed an osteosarcoma of the distal femur is presented.Entities:
