We present a rare case of an intra-articular synovial lipoma, which was diagnosed in a patient after a knee trauma. MRI is the imaging modality of choice to suggest the diagnosis preoperatively, by demonstrating a well-delineated fat-containing lesion. The differential diagnosis of an intra-articular lipomatous lesion consists of lipoma arborescens and synovial lipoma.

Rationale: Lipoma arborescens (LA) is a rare, benign proliferative disorder of the synovial lining that typically affects middle-aged individuals, predominantly in the knee joint. However, its occurrence in younger patients is unusual and may pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report aims to highlight the clinical, imaging, and therapeutic aspects of LA in a young adult, thereby expanding the understanding of its presentation in this age group.

The periarticular adipose tissues play a crucial role in knee biomechanics, yet they are often overlooked in daily radiology practice. As the primary mechanical shock absorbers of the knee, intra-articular fat pads reduce the friction between intra-articular structures during joint movement. They also contribute to inflammatory regulation, endocrine secretion, and pain detection.

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.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the different conditions that can be mistaken for popliteal ganglion cysts.
- - Possible alternatives include Baker's cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs behind the knee.
- - Other potential diagnoses to consider are popliteal artery aneurysms, popliteal tendinitis, lymph node swelling, lipomas, and synovial sarcoma.

Introduction And Importance: Conditions mimicking tumors within the knee, such as arborescent lipoma and synovial chondromatosis, are generally benign yet closely linked to inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases. While each condition is commonly documented individually with osteoarthritis, their concurrent presentation within the same knee is extremely rare. This case report adheres to the SCARE 2023 guidelines (Sohrabi et al.
