Fibular lipoma with areas of bone infarct calcification.
An anatomico-radiological study of a painful intraosseous lipoma of the fibula is reported. A blown up cortex and a rearrangement of surrounding cancellous bone trabeculae were observed. The lipoma contained two small bone infarcts. A radiological differential diagnosis with calcified chondroma as well as the pathogenesis of the condition are discussed.
