Intraosseous lipoma, a rare primary benign tumor of the skeleton, is most commonly found in the calcaneus. It may contain homogenous fat, but it may also contain necrosis, calcification, or ossification. It usually does not show contrast enhancement, but there is an interface enhancement between the outer fat plan and the inner fluid part. Herein, we present an unusual 22-year-old male case of ...

INTRODUCTION The intraosseous lipoma is the most common lipogenous lesion of bone. Intraosseous lipoma is found most frequently in the calcaneus and intertrochanteric region of the proximal femur. The symptoms may result from remodeling of bone due to expansion, or due to intralesional ischemia, noted to be a common consequence of a longstanding calcaneal intraosseous lipoma [1-4]. Intraosseous...

Intraosseous lipoma is a rare, benign primary tumor occurring in the bone. Herein, we reported a 45-year-old manwith chronic right posterior heel pain. In this study, the man was treated conservatively due to plantar fasciitis. Duringa one-month follow-up visit, the patient had no symptoms of relief in the right heel pain. Initially, calcaneal X-raywas taken, which revealed an...

Intraosseous lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from proliferating mature lipocytes. It often occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremity, and also in the calcaneus, humerus, mandible, sacrum and rib bones. Frequently, it involutes spontaneously through a process of infarction, calcification and cyst formation. It can either present as pain or be asymptomatic and only di...

PURPOSES To assess osteoporosis using plain radiography of the calcaneum by studying the performance characteristics of the modified calcaneal index through inter- and intra-observer agreement. To study the correlation of the modified calcaneal index to quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus and bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and distal radius. METHODS Lateral calcaneal radi...
