Intraosseous lipoma. A report of two cases

Acta Orthop Scand. 1978 Feb;49(1):95-7. doi: 10.3109/17453677809005732.

Abstract

Intraosseous lipoma seems to be a rare condition as only some 20 cases have been reported so far. A further two cases are described the lesions being in the calcaneus and in the tibia. Radiographically the lesions appeared osteolytic and well delineated, containing calcified areas. The microscopic features were those of mature adipose tissue. Curettage and packing with autogenous bone grafts is recommended, if the lesion causes pain or a correct diagnosis cannot otherwise be obtained.
