Intraosseous hibernoma is a rare finding that has only recently come to light in the literature. We report a case of intraosseous hibernoma in the sacrum identified as an incidental finding in a 40 year-old female with chronic lower back pain. The tumor was characterized with all routine imaging modalities. In the review of the literature we correlate the imaging findings with previously reported cases. With increasing number of radiologic investigations it is expected to discover more intraosseous hibernomas and the radiologists should consider intraosseous hibernoma as differential diagnosis of the sclerotic bone lesion.

Lipomas of the talus are rare benign bone lesions. They are usually atraumatic in aetiology with a male preponderance and generally occur between the third and sixth decades of life. We report the case of a man in his 30s who had presented with pain and swelling in the posteromedial aspect of his left ankle of 6 months' duration, associated with functional restrictions, and was diagnosed as a case of intraosseous lipoma involving the talus.

Article Synopsis
  • Intraosseous lipoma of the calcaneum is a rare condition that can cause significant heel pain, particularly in younger adults, with limited published cases.
  • A 35-year-old woman experienced worsening left heel pain for a year, which was severe enough to impact her daily activities; she underwent surgery involving curettage and bone cement filling.
  • Post-surgery follow-up showed no residual pain after 2.5 years, highlighting the need for orthopedic surgeons to consider this uncommon diagnosis and the effectiveness of surgical treatment when conservative methods fail.
