RESUMO
El lipoma arborescente (LA) es una entidad benigna caracterizada por la proliferación de tejido graso de morfología vellosa en la capa subsinovial, que afecta habitualmente a la rodilla. A continuación se presenta un caso de LA en la bursa bicipitorradial del codo en una mujer de 44 años. A pesar de la rara localización de la lesión, los hallazgos radiológicos en la ecografía y la resonancia magnética permitieron el diagnóstico (AU)
