Abstract

Lipoma arborescence (LA) is a rare intraarticular lesion mostly seen in the knee joint. We present a case of a 72 year old man, who had a swelling of the right knee of 5 years duration. He had pain and restriction of motion when swelling occured. We performed an arthrotomy and synovectomy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathologic examinations confirmed the diagnosis of LA. He had no swelling at the last control examination. His pain was reduced but continued because of osteoarthritis (OA). LA should be included in the differential diagnosis of the patients with recurrent effusions in patients with or without OA.

Özet

Lipoma arboresans (LA) en sık diz ekleminde görülen nadir eklem içi bir lezyondur. Çalışmamızda, sağ dizinde 5 yıldır devam eden şişlik, şişliğin olduğu dönemlerde hareket kısıtlılığı ve ağrı şikâyetleri olan 72 yaşında erkek hasta literatür eşliğinde değerlendirildi. Hastada suprapatellar bölgede yumuşak doku şişliği mevcut idi. Diz eklemi hareket açıklığı azalmış ve ağrılı idi. Magnetik rezonans görüntülemede (MRG) suprapatellar boşlukta multiple villöz lipomatöz sinovyal proliferasyon ile LA öntanısı artrotomi ve sinovektomi sonrası patolojik olarak doğrulandı. Yapılan takiplerde hastanın dizindeki şişliğin tekrarlamadığı ancak gonartroz nedeni ile ağrılarının azalmakla beraber devam ettiği görüldü. Dizde osteoartriti olan veya olmayan tekrarlayıcı effüzyonu olan hastalarda LA ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulmalıdır
