“…Although they may arise almost anywhere there is fatty tissue in the body, intra-articular examples are extremely rare. Only dozens of cases have been reported so far [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Most cases occur in the knee joint.…”

“…The clinical findings of intra-articular lipoma depend on the site and size of the mass. Most of the patients may be asymptomatic and some have complaints of dull pain or discomfort due to pressure, joint swelling, motion pain, and limitation of the range of motion [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…There are two types of lipomas, true lipoma and lipoma arborescens. Basically, intra-articular true lipoma is so rare, with only dozens of cases reported in the literature up to now [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Clinically, most of the patients with intra-articular lipoma are asymptomatic, some show as pressure symptoms caused by mass lesions, such as locking, kneeling pain, and so on.…”

Introduction: Lipomas are the most common type of soft-tissue tumor, but intra-articular lipomas are very rare. Most cases occur in the knee joint. This is a report of intra-articular lipoma in the knee joint, 8 months after removal with good post-operative outcome. Case Report: A 56-year-old female who presented soft-tissue mass on her right knee. She felt uncomfortable but not in pain. The mass grew gradually and she wanted to be surgically removed. The mass was too large (5 cm × 4 cm × 2 cm) to be removed endoscopically, so arthrotomy was made. The mass was true lipoma histologically. She is living happily without recurrence after surgery. Conclusion: We have described an intra-articular synovial lipoma in the knee of a middle-aged female. Intra-articular lipomas are very rare. The tumor in this case was relatively large but painless, and the chief complaint was discomfort. It grew gradually, so the removal was performed. At present, the patient is living happy without recurrence after surgery. Keywords: Intra-articular lipoma, knee, removal, arthroscopy.

“…Lipomas are commonplace soft-tissue tumors, and can be found anywhere in the body [ 22 ]. Intra-articular lipomas, however, are a very rare entity, with approximately 27 cases published to date, of which 19 affected the knee [ 23 ]. Initially, intra-articular lipoma can be difficult to diagnose, especially when it is small and there is no apparent lesion discernible on conventional radiographs.…”

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.
