  • Title: [Surgical indications in intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus. Case report and critical review of the literature].
    Author: Neuber M, Heier J, Vordemvenne T, Schult M.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2004 Jan; 107(1):59-63. PubMed ID: 14749853.
    Abstract:
    Intraosseous lipomas represent a small number of benign bone tumors with incidence rates of approximately 0.1%. In about 15% these neoplasias are localized within the calcaneus, mostly at Ward's triangle. The tumors usually remain clinically inapparent and diagnosis is often obtained incidentally. Although CT scan and MRI provide specific and sensitive diagnostic tools that can distinguish morphology and dignity, surgical treatment is not standardized yet. In conjunction with a case report, we summarize and critically compare current treatment strategies.
