Abstract
Lipoma arborescens is a rare, mainly intra-articular lesion characterized by diffuse replacement of subsynovial tissue by mature fat cells. It can be primary or secondary. The secondary type of lipoma arborescens is the more common. It is associated with an underlying chronic joint inflammation and irritation and is usually affecting the elderly patients. In this paper, we report an unusual case of Lipoma arborescens secondary to gouty arthritis affecting the left knee of a young male associated with a giant popliteal cyst and degenerative changes. An open synovectomy and excision of the popliteal cyst was performed.
