Summary: | Lipoma arborescens is a rare benign entity characterized by proliferation of villous fat tissue in subsynovial layer that usually affects the knee joint. We report a case of lipoma arborescens in bicipitoradial bursa of the elbow in a 44 year-old female patient. In spite of this rare location, radiographic findings by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging made diagnosis possible.
El lipoma arborescente (LA) es una entidad benigna caracterizada por la proliferación de tejido graso de morfología vellosa en la capa subsinovial, que afecta habitualmente a la rodilla. A continuación se presenta un caso de LA en la bursa bicipitorradial del codo en una mujer de 44 años. A pesar de la rara localización de la lesión, los hallazgos radiológicos en la ecografía y la resonancia magnética permitieron el diagnóstico. |
