Abstract
Intraosseous lipomas are benign tumors of bone. Although the tumor may affect many different locations, small bone involvement is quite rare. The authors report a case of an intraosseous lipoma of the fifth metatarsal treated with curettage and packing with allograft. The clinical and laboratory features of the case are also discussed.
