[Intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneus].
This report presents one case of rare benign intraosseus lipoma of the os calcis, which is analysed under the clinical, histopathologic and radiologic view. Not only the radiographic but also the computed tomographic findings has shown a typical picture of an intraosseous lipoma including a central calcification. In order to exclude a malignant transformation and as a prophylaxis of a pathological fracture the operative removal and bone graft transplantation is considered as therapy of choice.
