Abstract
In a 27-years old male a radiographically well defined and compact are a with some lucent sections was found incidentally at the top of the l eft iliac crest. The resection and the following histomorphologic exam ination of this tissue brought the diagnosis: spontaneous osteonecrosi s of the iliac crest. To our knowledge this is the first time that the iliac crest has been proved as a localisation of the spontaneous oste onecrosis by histomorphologic examination.
