Synovial lipomatosis (also known as lipoma arborescens) is a rare and benign lesion affecting synovium-lined cavities. It is characterized by hyperplasia of mature fat tissue in the subsynovial layer. Although the most commonly affected site is the knee joint, rarely additional locations such as tendon sheath and other joints are involved. We present a case of synovial lipomatosis of the glenohumeral joint in a 44-year-old man. The clinical data radiological studies and histopathologic results are described, as well as a review of the current literature.

Synovial lipomatosis is an uncommon, intra-articular, fat-containing, proliferative lesion with unknown etiology that is rarely reported in dogs. A retrospective study spanning 13 years was conducted to search for cases of canine synovial lipomatosis. Among 188 synovial biopsies of major diarthrodial joints (ie, shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus) from 186 dogs, 4 cases (2.

Article Synopsis
- Synovial lipomatosis is a rare, benign condition affecting the synovial lining of joints, primarily the knee, and is characterized by the presence of mature fat infiltrating the joint tissue, causing pain and swelling.
- It typically leads to joint movement restrictions and can occur in other joints like the hip and ankle, but diagnosis is often challenging due to its rarity and unclear causes.
- Treatment options range from conservative management to surgical intervention; in this case, a 47-year-old male underwent surgery for severe symptoms, including arthroscopic debridement and synovectomy.

Synovial lipomatosis or lipoma arborescens is a very uncommon pseudo-tumorous lesion of the synovium which more commonly affects the knee joint. The most probable cause of this pathological lesion is degenerative articular disorders of the joint and improper fat accumulation. It is characterized by presence of villous proliferation of the synovium and replacement of the sub-synovial tissue by mature adipocytes which is infiltrated by dense chronic inflammatory cells like lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils.
