“…[ 15 19 ] While these lesions are usually diagnosed in older adults, they may originate at a younger age as some of these tumors including the present case have shown long duration of presentation. [ 14 15 17 ] There may be an actual bimodal age predilection as substantial number of cases (almost one-third including the present case) seem to originate in the first two decades of life[ 13 14 15 19 ] but a larger number of cases will be required to accept or refute this observation. This feature of chondrolipoma slightly differs from a conventional lipoma, which are rarely seen in the first two decades of life and are thought to make their appearance at the age when fat starts accumulating in inactive individuals.…”

“…A review of the PUBMED database revealed 14 such cases in English literature. [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ] We have included only those cases which presented strictly within the oral cavity and histologically showed presence of only cartilaginous tissue in a predominantly mature adipocyte proliferation. The clinicopathological features of these cases including the present case have been summarized in Table 1 .…”

“…Chondrolipomas are most frequently seen in the breast and rarely in the head and neck region and are most commonly found in adults in the fifth and sixth decade (2,3). Chondrolipoma has previously been identified in head and neck area in the childhood in two cases in the literature (4,5). It is most commonly in the oral cavity and nasopharynx in the head and neck region and this is the first case in the literature it has involved the neck region soft tissue in a child.…”
