Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9

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. Clinically patient may present with diffuse painless gradually progressive swelling of the knee joint. MRI and High Resolution Ultrasonography are the diagnostic imaging modalities. Here, we present a case report of an atypical lipoma arborescens in a young adult.
