Summary. A patient with a pelvic osteosarcoma was treated by resection and a vascularised fibular bone graft. A metastasis developed at the donor site of the graft.

Résumé. Les foyers les plus communs de métastases de l’ostéosarcome sont le poumon, l’os et les parties molles. Un des modes de reconstruction après l’ablation initiale d’une tumeur primitive consiste à utiliser des greffons fibulaires vascularisés. La littérature ne fait aucune mention du développement de métastases sur le site de prélèvement de la greffe. Nous faisons le rapport d’un tel cas apparu chez un homme, jeune atteint d’ostéosarcome du pelvis, et nous essayons d’expliquer le mécanisme de propagation.
