  • Title: Lipoma arborescens of the knee: report of a case managed by arthroscopic synovectomy.
    Author: Franco M, Puch JM, Carayon MJ, Bortolotti D, Albano L, Lallemand A.
    Journal: Joint Bone Spine; 2004 Jan; 71(1):73-5. PubMed ID: 14769527.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of lipoma arborescens treated with an arthroscopic procedure. Lipoma arborescens is an uncommon pseudo-tumoral synovial lesion usually located in the suprapatellar pouch of the knee. This diagnosis should be considered, particularly in patients with chronic joint effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging confirms the lipomatous nature of the synovial proliferation. When limited to the anterior compartment of the knee, lipoma arborescens can be treated by arthroscopic synovectomy.
