Plemorphic adenoma mainly occurs in the salivary glands. A similar tumor arising in the bone is extremely rare, and only three cases have been reported so far. Here, we present an additional case of primary plemorphic adenoma of bone; describe its clinical, pathological and radiological features; and compare them with those of the reported cases.
