Intraosseous lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from proliferating mature lipocytes. It often occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremity, and also in the calcaneus, humerus, mandible, sacrum and rib bones. Frequently, it involutes spontaneously through a process of infarction, calcification and cyst formation. It can either present as pain or be asymptomatic and only di...

INTRODUCTION Intraosseous lipoma is a benign bone tumor, and the tumor occurs more frequently in the lower extremities. We present a very rare case of intraosseous lipoma occurring in the lumbar vertebral arch and spinous process. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old Japanese man presented with a three-month history of lumbar pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the L3 vertebral arch and spinous pr...

The details of the pathogenesis intraosseous lipomas are not fully elucidated, although most cases do require surgical treatment. present report describes case a 79‑year‑old female patient diagnosed with intracapsular lipoma who also exhibited an extraosseous extension. Chest computed tomography revealed abnormal shadow or mass in right scapula and destruction glenoid bone. Magnetic resonance i...

This study describes the clinical features, radiological appearance, and treatment of 11 new cases of osseous lipoma and reviews 301 other cases in the literature. Osseous lipomas are classified by the site of origin: either within bone (intraosseous lipoma) or on the surface of bone (juxtacortical). Intraosseous lipomas include intramedullary and intracortical lesions. Surface lipomas include ...

INTRODUCTION Intraosseous lipoma is an uncommon entity that presents almost exclusively as a solitary lesion. Multiple intraosseous lipomas are exceedingly rare with only a few cases being reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of 43-year-old African American female who presented with left leg and left wrist pain. The initial radiographs revealed well-defined radioluc...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma remains a poorly-characterized tumor. In paticular, the natural course of intracalcaneus lipoma after conservative treatment and the appropriate surgical modalities are still quite controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed six symptomatic patients who underwent curettage of intracalcaneus lipoma followed by grafting of α- or β-tricalcium phosphate. An endo...
