Abstract
Intraosseous lipoma is a very rare benign bone lesion, which constitutes not more than 0.1% of all bone tumors. The majority of cases are located in the metaphyseal region of the long bones in the lower limbs and is usually identified as an incidental roentgenographic finding. We report a rare case of intraosseous lipoma of the ilium in a 33‑year‑old male, accidentally discovered during a lumbar MRI for hyperalgesic sciatica, the diagnosis was established due to the characteristic radiological features objectified by MRI and CT.
