Abstract
Lipoma arborescens of the knee joint is a rare entity and only a few cases have been documented in literature. It is described as an idiopathic rare joint disease in which benign fatty deposits replace and distend the synovium. Incidence rate of 0.12-0.25% has been evaluated by Vilanova et al with slight male preponderanceand mean age of presentation 45.6 years.
