Abstract

Intra-articular lipomas have been described in adult patients: only in five of them was it responsible for acute pain and locking of the knee. We report here the unique case of an 8-year-old boy with a painful locked knee caused by a solitary intra-articular lipoma in the anteromedial compartment of the knee.
