Lipoma Arborescens is a rare benign intra-articular lesion most frequently found in the knee identified by the villous proliferation of the synovium. It usually presents as an enduring, slowly progressive swelling of one or more joints, which may or may not be associated with pain. Patients typically present with chronic and recurrent painless swelling of the joints. MRI demonstrated replacement of sub synovial tissue by mature fat cell, is clearly seen in STIR sequence.
