Abstract
Accessory bones in the elbow region are rare anatomical variations with important clinical significance as they can be misdiagnosed as pathological lesions. Usually, they are asymptomatic and found incidentally during X-ray examination in the context of trauma. Although these bones have been previously described, their development is not fully understood. The present case provides complex macroscopic, X-ray and histological descriptions of a sesamoid bone in the posterior region of the elbow-patella cubiti and the related surrounding structures. Moreover, this report indicates the presence of a well-defined syndesmosis between patella cubiti and the proximal ulna.
