Background: Intraosseous hemangiomas (IHs) are uncommon benign bone tumors that mainly affect the axial skeleton and rarely occur in long bones.
Case Presentation: In this study, a 35-year-old woman presented with a solitary IH in the proximal ulna of the right upper extremity, confirmed by x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showing a well-defined osteolytic lesion. The patient had a previous history of IH in the same area, first diagnosed at age 25 and treated with curettage surgery, followed by recurrence at age 28 requiring curettage. The patient underwent extended curettage to prevent pathological fractures despite pain and a mass in the right proximal ulna.
Conclusion: Post-curettage histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IH. This is a rare case of recurrent long-bone hemangioma in the ulna.
