title: The occurrence of a geode in the olecranon of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
abstract: Geode, a subchondral cyst, is sometimes seen in the femur, knee, or wrist in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). But the onset of a giant geode at the olecranon is extremely rare in a patient with RA. We describe herein a rare case of a giant geode at the olecranon in a patient with RA.
