Abstract: Intra-articular lipoma of the hip joint is a rare entity with a mere 4 cases being reported to date We present two patients with true intra-articular hip lipomas, with insidious onset of non-traumatic hip pain and gradual restriction in the range of motion. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed an encapsulated intra-articular lesion with the typical imaging characteristics of a benign lipomatous tumour and a similar signal as that of fat tissue.. Arthroscopic excision of the intra-articular lipoma was done in one patient. An intra-articular lipoma is a rare synovial tumour of the hip joint with typical imaging characteristics and this article highlights clinical presentation, radiological features, and management options.
