N2  - Lipoma arborescens (LA) is a rare intra-articular benign lesioncommonly found in the knee. LA presents with chronic painlessswelling. Diagnosis is easily done by specific signs of LA onmagnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Typically, LA is treated byopen or arthroscopic synovectomy. A 30-year-old male patient wasadmitted with swelling in his right knee. He had chronic swellingof the suprapatellar bursa with recurrent episodes of effusion in hisright knee for 1 year. He was diagnosed with LA by monitoringsynovial villous proliferations that signal isointense with adiposetissue in all sequences on MRI. LA is a disease that should beremembered in patients with recurrent effusions in the knee joint.MRI plays an important role in diagnosis.
