Abstract
We report a unique case of juxtacortical osteoblastoma of the humeral shaft, which simulated the appearance of an extraosseous extension of Gaucher-cell deposits. The tumour was treated successfully by curettag e and bone grafting. We can find no previous report of this associatio n between osteoblastoma and Gaucher's disease.
