Abstract
Acase of juxtacortical osteoma of the ulna in a 47-year-old woman is presented. She had a dense bony mass on the ulna. Radiological examinations (plain radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) strongly suggested a rare case of juxtacortical osteoma of a long tubular bone. The differential diagnosis included parosteal osteosarcoma, melorheostosis, osteochondroma, end-stage juxtacortical myositis ossificans, and fibrous dysplasia protuberans. The tumor was excised totally for thorough pathological examination, which revealed it to be composed of lamellar bone, suggesting that the origin was periosteal.
