Chondrolipoma in the palm of a child

Ossifying chondrolipoma of the thigh

“…Characteristic features of the MRI findings in our patient were the central area of tumor, intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and hererogeneous high-intensity on T2-weighted images, differing from adipose tissue. The heterogeneous signal intensity was similar to that in previously reported cases 3,13,14. The nonlipomatous lesion proved to be a cartilaginous area with ossification, as assessed by macroscopic and pathologic examinations.…”

“…However, there have been few radiographic reports on the above subtypes of lipomas 15. Furtheremore, there is limited information available on the radiographic findings of chondrolipomas 3,4,13. Characteristic features of the MRI findings in our patient were the central area of tumor, intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and hererogeneous high-intensity on T2-weighted images, differing from adipose tissue.…”

Chondrolipoma in the Pelvic Cavity: a Case Report

“…Two possible explanations for the pathogenesis of cartilage and bone formation in benign mesenchymomas have been proposed (5, 6, 8, 9). The first is that cartilage arises from chondro-osseous metaplasias of adipose tissue, presumably as a result of mechanical stress or trophic disturbance.…”

“…Only a limited number of chondrolipomas have been reported in the English literature. According to these reports, chondrolipomas may be found almost anywhere in the body, particularly in the connective tissue of the breast (1, 2), head and neck area (3, 4), as well as the skeletal muscle (5, 6). To the best of our knowledge, chondrolipomas have not yet been reported in the pelvic cavity.…”

Chondrolipoma of Arm: First Report

“…Lipomas occasionally have areas of bone or cartilage formation and are classified as chondrolipomas respectively 1,2 with the occurrence in extremities is extremely rare (3,4,5,6) .…”
