  • Title: Osseous lipoma: CT appearance.
    Author: Ramos A, Castello J, Sartoris DJ, Greenway GD, Resnick D, Haghighi P.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 Dec; 157(3):615-9. PubMed ID: 4059548.
    Abstract:
    Characteristic radiographic and computed-tomographic (CT) features of seven cases of osseous lipoma are reported: six with medullary and one with parosteal locations. Radiological diagnosis of this lesion is discussed, with emphasis on potential pitfalls in interpretation of CT scans. Although the presence of fat-equivalent density on scans is highly suggestive of osseous lipoma, comparable attenuation is documented in cases of chronic osteomyelitis and postnecrotic subchondral excavation.
