Lipoma arborescens is a rare benign intra articular lesion characterized by lipomatous proliferation of the synovium. The condition typically affects the knee presenting with atraumatic pain and swelling. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of monoarthritis and joint effusion. Diagnosis is made on MRI with characteristic features. We present a rare case of lipoma arborescens with patellofemoral osteoarthritis and genu valgum. We discuss the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and management.
树枝状脂肪瘤是一种罕见的关节内良性病变,其特征为滑膜的脂肪瘤样增生。该病通常累及膝关节,表现为无创伤性疼痛和肿胀。在单关节炎和关节积液的鉴别诊断中应考虑该病。通过具有特征性表现的磁共振成像(MRI)进行诊断。我们报告一例合并髌股关节炎和膝外翻的树枝状脂肪瘤罕见病例。我们对其临床表现、影像学检查结果及治疗进行讨论。
