title: Intraosseous schwannoma of the humerus.
abstract: Intraosseous schwannomas are rare benign neoplasms of the bone, of which fewer than 200 cases have been described in the world literature. These tumors are well-defined, lytic lesions, rarely associated with pathologic fracture. The mandible is the most frequently involved bone. We present only the third case of an intraosseous schwannoma involving the humerus.
