Abstract:
Lipoma arborescens is a villous proliferation of fatty tissue in the synovial membrane, and known causes are trauma, meniscal injury, inflammation, infection, degenerative change, tumor, and so forth. The reported cases are extremely rare. We report a case of lipoma arborescens developed in all compartments of the knee joint, and treated well with arthroscopic surgery.
