“…Current literature about LA is scarce and mainly consists in case reports. Interestingly, many of them have been published in the last years [ 7 , 8 ] although this entity was described over 50 years ago. [ 9 ] This may be due to an increased awareness about this disease and improvement in modern imaging techniques (MRI).…”

Introduction: Lipoma Arborescens is a rare pathology that mainly affects the knee. Occurrences in the elbow are even more uncommon and mainly involve the bicipitoradial bursa. Case's description: We describe the case of a 54-year-old patient known for rheumatoid arthritis, who consulted for chronic elbow pain associated with swelling and limited extension. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of a lipoma arborescens of the elbow involving the whole joint was made using magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed during arthroscopy. Interventions: After a failed nonoperative treatment consisting in intra-articular cortisone injections and physiotherapy, the patient underwent arthroscopic synovectomy and arthrolysis. Outcome: At 1-year follow-up, he reported no pain, satisfactory range of motion, and major improvements in clinical scores. Conclusion: This is the first illustrated case report about lipoma arborescens involving the whole elbow joint. Even though it is a rare disease, awareness of its presentation, imaging patterns, and treatment options is therefore important for clinicians, radiologists, and surgeons. In this case, arthroscopic treatment resulted in satisfactory and long-lasting pain relief and functional results. It may be considered as a safe and effective option in case of failed nonoperative measures.

“…It is characterized by fatty infiltration of the subsynovial connective tissue. It is usually described in the knee (32,33) but may be observed in the hip (34), shoulder (35), wrist (36), or elbow (37). The disease is monoarticular in most cases but involvement of several joints in the same patient has been described (36,38,39).…”

Femoral osteochondroma responsible for ischiofemoral impingement, bursitis, and secondary lipoma arborescens mimicking malignant transformation

We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with a known history of hereditary multiple exostosis disease referred for further imaging work-up after ultrasound and computed tomography leading to the suspicion of malignant transformation of an osteochondroma (exostosis) located on the posteromedial aspect of the right proximal femur. Imaging examinations suggested an ischiofemoral impingement resulting in a secondary bursitis associated with the development of an internal lipoma arborescens. This rare association explained the complexity of the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) played a key role in correctly identifying this benign complication of the osteochondroma and in distinguishing those observations from a secondary exostotic chondrosarcoma. MRI findings were subsequently confirmed at surgery and pathological examination.

“… 1 , 2 Although it can occur almost anywhere in the body, its occurrence inside the joint, bursa, or tendon sheath is very rare. 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 There are 2 types of this kind of lipoma: synovial lipoma and lipoma arborescens. 3 , 8 Lipoma arborescens is more frequently reported.…”

Endoscopic Resection of Lipoma of the Patellar Tendon

Synovial lipoma of the patellar tendon is a very rare entity. It can be associated with rupture of the patellar tendon. We present a case of synovial lipoma that was successfully resected endoscopically. The other indications for patellar tendoscopy include chronic patellar tendinitis and tendinosis, recalcitrant bursitis around the tendon, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and jumper's knee. The major potential danger of this endoscopic procedure is iatrogenic damage to the patellar insertion during endoscopic debridement in patients with jumper's knee or the tibial insertion during endoscopic debridement in patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
