There is well defined lucent bone lesion with sclerotic margins seen involving the calcaneus bone with some calcifications measures around two and a half by one and a half centimeters. CT scan is advised for better evaluation.
From the case:
Intraosseous lipoma
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/87508/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
There is well-defined lesion with sclerotic margin involving the anterior aspect of the calcaneus having fat attenuation (-86 HU) measuring around 3 x 2.5 cm in diameter with central amorphous calcifications.These findings are compatible with an iintra-osseous lipoma with central calcification.
A small plantar calcaneal spur is also noted.
No other bony abnormality could be seen.
