Lipoma Arborescens

Abstract: Lipoma arborescens is a very uncommon condition of the synovial joints and bursae. Although the etiology is unknown, lipoma arborescens is characterized by hyperplasia of mature fat tissue in the subsynovial layer. The knee joint, especially the suprapatellar pouch, is the most frequent site of involvement. Cases are occasionally reported in the shoulder, elbow, hip and wrist.

“…Lipoma arborescens is extraordinarily rare in children, and bilateral presentations are even more unusual. There are only 10 reported cases involving pediatric or adolescent patients [1,3,5,8,13,15,21,23,25,27], and, to our knowledge, there are only five reported cases involving pediatric patients with bilateral affected joints, all of which involved the knees [5,13,21,23,27].
