Lipomas are common
neoplasms of fat in the oral cavity. However, the diagnosis may be difficult
for lesions exhibiting unusual histological features. This paper documents
the first intraoral report of a chondroid lipoma. The differential diagnosis
is discussed. It is important for practicing oral pathologists to recognize
rare variants to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for the
patient.
Chondroid lipoma of the
trunk: MRI appearance and pathologic correlation.Skeletal
Radiol. 2004 Nov;33(11):666-9. Epub 2004 May 5.
Chondroid lipoma is a
rare tumour of adipose tissue, bearing a strikingly close pathologic
resemblance to myxoid liposarcoma and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.
Unlike these malignant tumours, chondroid lipoma has a non-aggressive
behaviour and does not require radical treatment. Although repeatedly
reported in the proximal extremities and limb girdles, this rare entity may
less frequently be observed in the trunk. We describe the imaging findings
of a chondroid lipoma in the trunk and provide a discussion on the
radiologic-pathologic correlation and differential diagnosis.
