Title: | Acute pelvic pain associated with an intra-osseous lipoma of the hip joint | Contributor(s): | Fraser, John (author) | Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11344 | Abstract: | A case report of a 64-year old woman who presented with recurrent pelvic and hip pain secondary to an intra-osseous lipoma of the acetabulum (with intra-articular extension) is reported. An acetabular labral tear developed in association with this tumour. There was no history of trauma. Usually intra-osseous lipomas are asymptomatic. To my knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of an intra-osseous lipoma of the acetabulum causing severe pelvic pain requiring laparotomy. Hip pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent pelvic pain. Intra-osseous lipomas tend to resolve spontaneously by fat necrosis altering their radiological appearance. Consistent with this case, a negative bone scintigraph does not exclude their presence. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | SICOT Online Report, p. 1-6 | Publisher: | Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie [International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology] (SICOT) | Place of Publication: | France | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 110320 Radiology and Organ Imaging 110314 Orthopaedics |
