title: Intra-osseous lipoma of the talus: a case report.
abstract: Intra-osseous lipomas are rare benign tumours. We report one such case in the talus of a 60-year-old man. The patient underwent curettage and bone grafting. At the 22-month follow-up, radiographs of the talus showed dense sclerosis with multiple cortical breaks in the anterior process and no evidence of local recurrence or avascular necrosis. The patient had a painless ankle joint with normal range of movement.
