ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Lesions of the adipose tissue are the most common type of soft-tissue lesion among adults. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 33-year-old female patient with a soft-tissue lesion in her left knee that was diagnosed as a hemosiderotic fibrohistiocytic lipomatous lesion. This type of lesion, which was described for the first time in 2000, preferentially affects the ankle region of middle-aged women with a history of previous local trauma. Lesion recurrence is common, caused by incomplete resection, although there have not yet been any reports of metastases. After a review of the literature, we describe the clinical, radiological, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics, along with their main differential diagnoses.


CONTEXTO: Lesões de tecido adiposo são as mais comuns de partes moles em adultos. RELATO DE CASO: Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 33 anos, com lesão em partes moles do joelho esquerdo diagnosticada como lesão lipomatosa fibrohistiocítica hemossiderótica. Essa lesão foi descrita pela primeira vez em 2000, acometendo preferencialmente a região do tornozelo de mulheres de meia-idade com história de trauma prévio local. Recidiva da lesão é comum devido à ressecção incompleta e não há até o momento relato de metástase. Após revisão da literatura, descrevemos as características clínicas, radiológicas, morfológicas, imunoistoquímicas assim como seus principais diagnósticos diferenciais.
