  • Title: [Synovial lipoma arborescens].
    Author: Semenova LA, Radenska-Lopovok SG, Khaplinin AP, Malakhova SO.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 2014; 76(4):57-60. PubMed ID: 25306627.
    Abstract:
    The paper describes a case of synovial lipoma arborescens (tree-forming lipoma) of the knee joint. This tumor is a variety of lipomas--a benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue without signs of atypia. Most investigators regard lipoma as a reactive rather than neoplastic process. X-ray and histological studies should be performed for its differential diagnosis with pigmented villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, synovial hemangioma, xanthoma, a group of chronic synovitis in rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, amyloid arthropathy, psoriatic arthritis). Its final diagnosis is possible only after morphological study.
