Indian J Radiol Imaging. 2010 Feb;20(1):50-2. doi: 10.4103/0971-3026.59755.

Abstract

Lipoma arborescens (LA) is a rare non-neoplastic intra-articular lesion that most commonly affects the knee joint, especially the suprapatellar bursa. It rarely affects the elbow joint. There are a few reports of involvement of the bicipital radial bursa. We report a case of LA, with characteristic MRI features, affecting the elbow joint in a young male.

Keywords: Elbow; Lipoma arborescens; MRI; synovium.
