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

In the management of persistent knee effusions, synovectomy may be useful but surgical removal is often far from complete and recurrences are common. The present study reports an attempt to produce a radiation synovectomy, using the principle that colloidal Au 198, when injected into the knee joint, would behave like other particles and localize on the synovial membrane. Au 198 has a half life ...

The authors in this case report highlight the poor outcome of radiation synovectomy (RSV) for repeated knee joint effusion in a patient with histopathologically proven nonspecific arthritis. There was partial response initially following RSV but later follow-up showed recurrence in joint effusion with limited and painful mobility of the knee joint. Subsequent surgical synovectomy and histopatho...

Arborescent lipoma is an unusual intra-articular lesion that typically develops in the knee and has to be evoked before chronic effusion. It corresponds to hyperplasia of mature fatty tissue and hypertrophy of synovial villi, developing within a joint. The reference treatment is synovectomy by arthrotomy. The rare forms localized to the anterior compartment of the knee can benefit from an arthr...
