Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Lipoma Arborescens is a lesion arising from synovium and is characterized by diffuse increase in the quantity of subsynovial fat that bulges the overlying synovial lining and produces a villous architecture. It is a rare tumour. There is a fatty villonodular proliferation of the synovium predominantly in the knee, although its origin from other joints has also been reported. Though of unknown etiology, it is usually seen secondary to articular / peri-articular trauma, or synovitis. We report a case of 56 years old male who presented with unilateral monoarticular swelling associated with chondromalacia and subchondral cyst of the left knee. A large tumor measuring 17x15 cm extending from suprapatellar area to anterior lower thigh was excised. The largest Lipoma Arborescens tumor ever reported was of the size 14x11 cms and as per our research, lipoma Arborescens reported in our study is the largest ever reported. Its etiopathogenesis, histopathological and radiological findings are discussed alongwith.
