Introduction: Lipomas are the most common type of soft-tissue tumor, but intra-articular lipomas are very rare. Most cases occur in the knee joint. This is a report of intra-articular lipoma in the knee joint, 8 months after removal with good post-operative outcome. Case Report: A 56-year-old female who presented soft-tissue mass on her right knee. She felt uncomfortable but not in pain. The mass grew gradually and she wanted to be surgically removed. The mass was too large (5 cm × 4 cm × 2 cm) to be removed endoscopically, so arthrotomy was made. The mass was true lipoma histologically. She is living happily without recurrence after surgery. Conclusion: We have described an intra-articular synovial lipoma in the knee of a middle-aged female. Intra-articular lipomas are very rare. The tumor in this case was relatively large but painless, and the chief complaint was discomfort. It grew gradually, so the removal was performed. At present, the patient is living happy without recurrence after surgery. Keywords: Intra-articular lipoma, knee, removal, arthroscopy.

Sternal Osteomyelitis

Chronic osteomyelitis usually present as bony growth but it can rarely present as a soft tissue growth mimicking neoplasm and is usually diagnosed by the combination of radiology and microbiology. This is a case report of an adult male who had chronic osteomyelitis mimicking a neoplastic growth of soft tissue. CT scan showed soft tissue mass mimicking a soft tissue tumor but microbiology test and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis.

Rice Body

Introduction. Soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty raises several differential diagnoses not limited to infection, hematoma, wear debris, malignancy, and bursitis. Rice body formation in the hip region is an uncommon process denoting a chronic inflammation. We report here the second case of its kind in the medical literature of a wide symptomatic rice-like body cyst complicating a total hip arthroplasty. Case Presentation. This is the case of an 82-year-old white female, presenting with a warm, red, and inflated groin five years after revision of right total hip arthroplasty. Surgical intervention reveals a large well circumscribed cyst containing well-organized rice-like bodies. This eventuality was never reported in differential diagnosis of hip periprosthetic soft tissue masses before. Conclusion. This case report helps widening the array of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a slow growing soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty, making rice-like bodies cyst a valid one to consider.

Polypoidal Growth

Rhinosporidiosis presents commonly as polypoidal growth in nose, but presentation in other sites including skin, genitourinary tract is documented. Cutaneous presentation is rare, which may present as pedunculated swelling or cutaneous ulceration, but presenting as soft tissue tumor is extremely rare. The multifaceted presentation of the disease causes diagnostic dilemma to an unsuspecting physician. Clinical and radiological findings may mislead, but usually typical history helps, and typical histology clinches the diagnosis. We are presenting a case of disseminated cutaneous rhinosporidiosis presented as soft tissue mass lesion in the leg causing diagnostic difficulty due to the rare presentation.

Bony Erosion

Exostosis, osteoma, and adenoma are the most commonly encountered benign lesions in the external auditory canal. Herein, we report a case of the mass arising from the external auditory canal in a 24-year-old Japanese man. CT revealed the soft tissue mass without bony erosion, and MRI revealed that the mass showed a homogenous, iso signal intensity on a both T1- and T2-weighted image, suggesting that the mass is a benign tumor such as adenoma. Pathological examination showed that the specimen demonstrated xanthogranuloma in the external auditory canal. Although xanthogranuloma of the external auditory canal is extremely rare, otolaryngologists should recognize this condition during the inspection of the external auditory canal.
