Preoperative plain X-ray showed an expansile, multilobular, and radiolucent lesion with a clear margin in the distal end of the left ulna.

Plain X-ray of the left ulna showed an expansile, multilobular, and radiolucent lesion with a clear margin, so-called soap-bubbled appearance lesion at the distal end with absence of periosteal reaction and incomplete fracture (Figure 1).
Computed tomogram showed thinning and protrusion of the cortex but no destruction of the cortex of the distal ulna.

Computed tomograms showed thinning and protrusion of the cortex, but no destruction of the cortex of the distal ulna (Figure 2).
Iliac bone was grafted to the sigmoid notch of the radius. The grafted iliac bone was fixed with a small cortical screw and a 1.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire.

The grafted iliac bone was fixed with a small cannulated cortical screw and a 1.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire (Figure 3).
One year after the operation, X-ray showed no recurrence of the tumor, no absorption of the grafted bone, and no ulnar translation of the entire carpus. There was no convergence of the proximal stump of the ulna toward the radius.
