Abstract
While bone metastases are frequent, involvement of the juxta-articular bone and synovium is very rare. We report a 62 year old male with bronchogenic carcinoma that metastasized to the elbow. An open biopsy of the proximal ulna and synovium was necessary to establish the definitive diagnosis.
