We report a case demonstrating a rare finding associated with a relatively common injury. Lipomata are rarely found within tendon sheaths; but in the case of our patient, at the time of operative repair for a ruptured Achilles tendon, we found a fatty growth within the tendon sheath. The diagnosis of a lipoma was confirmed by histology. Although uncommon, it remains important to be aware of the existence of neoplastic growths within tendon sheaths and to establish the exact nature of these growths by histological analysis.
我们报告一例罕见的与相对常见损伤相关的发现。脂肪瘤很少在肌腱鞘内发现；但在我们的患者中，在手术修复断裂的跟腱时，我们发现肌腱鞘内有一个脂肪生长物。脂肪瘤的诊断通过组织学得到证实。虽然不常见，但仍有必要意识到肌腱鞘内存在肿瘤生长，并通过组织学分析确定这些生长物的确切性质。
