Abstract

Lipoma arborescens is a rare intraarticular lesion consisting of villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovium that usually occurs in the knee. The cause is not clear. Magnetic resonans imaging (MRI) findings are diagnostic and MRI demonstrates large frondlike masses originating from synovium. The lesion has signal characteristics similar to fat in all pulse sequences. MRI is also useful in differentiating lipoma arborescens from other causes of a chronic swollen and painful joint, including rheumatoid arthritis, pigmented villonodular, synovitis and synovial chondromatosis. MRI plays a major role in early diagnosis and treatment.To our knowledge, about 30 case reports were presented in the literature. Our case was one of the youngest ones. Although the duration of symptoms was approximately 5 years, no bone erosion and degeneration were detected. In this case report, we presented clinical and MRI findings of a case of lipoma arborescens and reviewed the literature.

Özet

Lipoma arboresens; sinovyumun villöz lipomatöz proliferasyonu ile oluşan, ender görülen intraartiküler bir lezyondur. Genellikle diz ekleminde oluşur. Etyolojisi belli değildir. Tanıda Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları diagnostik olup, sinovyumdan kaynaklanan büyük villonodüler karakterde kitlesel lezyonu gösterir. Lezyon bütün sekanslarda yağ dokusuna benzer sinyal karakterine sahiptir. Ayrıca MRG lipoma arboresensin, kronik şişme ve ağrılı ekleme neden olan romatoid artrit, pigmente villonodüler sinovit ve sinovyal kondromatozis gibi diğer patolojilerden ayırt edilmesinde de yararlıdır. MRG lezyonun erken tanı ve tedavisinde önemli rol oynar. Literatürde, günümüze kadar 30'a yakın olgu bildirilmiştir. Olgumuz bunlar içinde en genç olgulardan biri olup, yaklaşık 5 yıllık öyküsüne rağmen kemiklerde erozyon ve degeneratif değişiklik tespit edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmamızda, lipoma arboresens olgusunun klinik ve MRG bulgularını sunduk ve literatürle kıyasladık.
