Abstract
The development of tendolipomatosis has been studied both by light and scanning electron microscopy in the tendons of healthy persons killed in accidents. Lipid cells are rarely seen in the intact tendon. In the early stages of tendolipomatosis lipid cells are found deep and singly but in the later phases lipocytes are seen to disrupt the continuity of collagen fibres and tendon bundles and so reduce the strength of the tendon. L'évolution de la lipomatose tendineuse a été étudiée tant par microscopie que par microscopie électronique sur des tendons prélevés sur des sujets sains décédés accidentellement. On ne trouve que rarement des cellules graisseuses sur les tendons normaux. Au stade initial de la ténolipomatose des cellules adipeuses sont trouvées, disséminées, en profondeux, mais au stade ultime on voit les lipocytes rompre la continuité des fibres de collagène et réduire ainsi la résistance du tendon.Keywords
