“…Although they are the most common soft-tissue tumor of the body, they are relatively rare in the hand and make up only 8% of all benign hand tumours. 1 Lipomas in the hand can occur in different locations, such as subcutaneous, subfascial, intramuscular, and even intraosseous. 2 This particular case is unique because it involves an intra-articular lipoma of the hand, which affects the pisotriquetral (PT) joint.…”

Intraarticular lipomas are infrequently reported, with most reported cases occurring in the knee joint. A case of intraarticular lipoma in the small joints of the hand, specifically in the pisotriquetral joint, has been documented for the first time. A 24-year-old male visited the emergency department after a road traffic accident with a painful and swollen wrist. Radiographic examination revealed fractures of the distal radius and triquetrum. A subsequent wrist computed tomography scan identified an intraarticular lipoma within the pisotriquetral joint, further confirmed by ultrasonography. This article underscores the importance of recognizing that, though exceedingly rare, intraarticular lipomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue tumors affecting the hand and wrist.

BackgroundIntra-articular lipomas are rare and very few cases have been reported in the knee. To the best of our knowledge, here we report the largest lipoma to have ever been observed in the knee. It is crucial to avoid the misdiagnose of lipoma arborescens, which is associated with degenerative joint disease. Lipoma is a homogeneous, ovoid, adipose tissue tumor that is contained within a fibrous capsule and not associated with previous disease.Case presentationA 48-year-old male, with a soft-tissue tumor on the superomedial aspect of the right knee. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intra-articular lipoma. The mass was resected by means of a limited arthrotomy.ConclusionsKnee lipoma is an extremely rare disease that must be diagnosed by MRI. Where possible, it should be resolved by arthroscopic resection.

We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with swelling over his right elbow of 5-year duration. An ultrasound examination revealed an echogenic mass within the olecranon bursa. On magnetic resonance imaging, the mass revealed the signal intensity of fat, and it was attached to the bursal lining by means of a pedicle. There was no restriction on diffusion-weighted images and no significant contrast enhancement. Excision was performed under local anesthesia. The excised specimen revealed mature fat cells on histopathology.
