abstract: A case of intra-osseous lipoma of the upper femur is reported. A review of the literature shows that this lesion is rare, only about 33 cases having been published. The radiological appearance is that of a fibroma. The diagnosis is made at the time of surgery which reveals the presence of fat in a large cavity. Curettage and bone graft resulted in healing.
