Osteoid osteoma is benign tumor of unknown cause that is usually located in long bones. We report a case of osteoid osteoma occuring at the site of a previous fracture of the ulna treated by internal fixation. The radiological findings of the patients was similar to osteomyelitis. As far as we know this is the first case in English literature.

Osteoid osteoma genellikle uzun kemiklerde lokalize, nedeni bilinmeyen iyi huylu bir tümördür. Biz daha önce internal fiksasyon ile tedavi edilen ulna kırığının yerinde gelisen osteoid osteoma olgusunu sunduk. Hastanın radyolojik bulguları osteomyelite benziyordu. Bizim bilgimize göre bu Dngiliz literatüründeki ilk olgudur.
