It is a rare synovium pseudotumor that mainly concerns the male adult, of unknown etiology, espe-cially observed in the knee, especially in the suprapatellar recess. The arboreal lipoma consists of hypertrophic synovial villi and contains fat in very large quantities, so that the mass has a lipoma-tous appearance. The diagnosis is based on an MRI that shows hypertrophy of synovial villi appear-ing as a fatty signal on all sequences. However the diagnosis is established after synovial biopsy.

We present a case of a 38-year-old male who experienced a rare presentation of recurrent ankle sprains and a palpable mass, ultimately diagnosed with SC in the ankle.

Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (dTGCT) is a destructive but rare benign proliferative synovial neoplasm. Although surgery is currently the main treatment modality for dTGCT, the recurrence risk is up to 50%. Therefore, there is a great need for effective drugs against dTGCT with minor side effects.
