A Case Report of X-Linked Hyperimmunoglobulin M Syndrome with Lipoma Arborescens of Knees

Figure 1

MRI of a 22-year-old male patient with lipoma arborescens of knee joints. Sagittal noncontrast T1 (b), weighted image, showed high signal intensity frond like synovial thickening in the suprapatellar bursal region (arrow) with joint effusion. GE HDesigna 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system TR-737ms TE-9.3ms 3.5 mm slice thickness with interslice gap of 1 mm was used. Sagittal (a), coronal (c), and axial (d) fat suppressed proton density images revealed complete suppression of signal intensity of villous projections (arrow) in suprapatellar bursal region. GE HDesigna 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system was used. Sagittal TR-2264ms TE-24ms 3.5 mm slice thickness with interslice gap of 1 mm, coronal TR-2740 TE-24 3.5 mm slice thickness with interslice gap of 0.5 mm, and axial TR-1956 TE-22.8 4 mm slice thickness with interslice gap of 1 mm.
