Introduction
Lipomas are benign lesions of adipose tissue. Intraosseous lipomas are rare entities, accounting for less than 0.1% cases of all primary bone tumors.1 They can occur anywhere in the skeleton; the common location being the lower limbs including the calcaneum. Some cases of intraosseous lipomas are asymptomatic which are detected incidentally on radiographs performed for evaluation of some other disorders while others may have symptoms like heel pain. These lesions are frequently misdiagnosed for other conditions. Diagnosis with a plain radiograph alone may be difficult and the use of computed tomography (CT) scan and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can easily confirm the condition. We present a case of an incidental intraosseous lipoma diagnosed by a CT scan in a 36-year-old male.
