Abstract
Intra-calcaneal lipoma is a rare subtype of intraosseous lipoma that occurs in the heel bone. This case report describes a 56-year-old female patient who presented with heel pain and swelling. Imaging studies revealed an intra-calcaneal mass consistent with lipoma. The patient underwent surgical excision of the lipoma, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. This case report also presents a comprehensive literature review of intra-calcaneal lipoma, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, differential diagnosis, and treatment options.
