Abstract

The current case report describes an adult male with an intracortical lipoma accompanied by cystic changes in the tibial diaphysis. To the best of our knowledge, intracortical lipoma in an adult tibia has not been previously described. An anteroposterior radiograph of the tibia revealed an osteolytic lesion on the diaphysis. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography revealed that the lesion was located in the cortex and consisted of fat and cyst tissue. Surgical excision of the lesion confirmed diagnosis of an intracortical lipoma.
