Post-traumatic lipid inclusion cyst.

Post-traumatic lipid inclusion cysts are a rare entity seen following fractures in paediatric patients. They often occur in the distal radius, developing 1-3 months following an extra-articular fracture. Although benign and self-limiting in nature, adequate awareness and accurate radiographic interpretation is key in avoiding further unnecessary non-invasive or invasive investigations. We report on a case of post-traumatic lipid inclusion cyst and review the literature.
