Proximal ulna : a rare location for solitary intraosseous hemangioma

Abstract EN

Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare, benign bone tumors usually affecting the bones of the axial skeleton.

Its incidence in the long bones is extremely rare.

We report a 19-yearold boy with solitary intraosseous hemangioma of the proximal ulna.

Radiographs and computed tomography images showed a well-defined osteolytic lesion involving the right proximal ulna.

Magnetic resonance imaging showed intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images with internal trabeculae and peripheral post-contrast enhancement.

Postcurettage histologic diagnosis of intraosseous hemangioma was made.
