ABSTRACT
Intraosseous calcaneal lipoma is a rare benign bone tumor. The incidence of intraosseous lipoma involving the calcaneus has been noted to account for fewer than 8-15% of all intraosseous lipoma. The etiology of the lesion is unknown. A post-traumatic secondary bone reaction, healing bone infarct, and benign neoplasm have been discussed. The symptoms can be nonspecific, varying from dull, intermittent pain to activity-related plantar pain. This pain can predictably be misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis. We present the case of a 49-year-old male patient suffering from plantar fasciitis for three months and incidental asymptomatic intraosseous calcaneal lipoma, which was diagnosed by x-ray and CT scan. As the patient was out of complaints, the typical CT findings we saw no indication for biopsy but recommended regular CT and MRI controls.;
