Lipoma Arborescens in the Bicipitoradial Bursa of the Elbow: Sonographic Findings

“…2 To our knowledge, only 4 cases of lipoma arborescens of the elbow have been reported. 2,[5][6][7] Three of these 4 occurrences in fact involved the bicipitoradial bursa. 2,5,6 Surprisingly, their characteristic sonographic features have not specifically been reported, although they can suggest the correct diagnosis.…”
