Abstract:
Taking in account the medical history, the clinical and radiological presentation and the intraoperative and histological findings, two cases of osteolysis of the humeral head of unknown origin are discussed. After exclusion of underlying concomitant diseases a traumatic etiology seemed to be the most probable explanation although in both cases a trauma was denied by the patients. We are unaware of any similar cases published in the literature.
