Subcutaneous ossifying lipoma: case report and review of the literature

Abstract

OL is rare but has a characteristic gross, radiological and histological appearance. It has the same prognosis as simple lipoma. Excision is the treatment to be chosen.

Osteolipoma of knee: a rare case report

“…The adipose component is usually predominant and the mature bone tissue is irregular in distribution. Bone spicules may be surrounded by fibrous tissue bands [10,12].…”

Lipomas – a health condition that cannot be ignored

“…the condition was trivialized. in literature, there are many similar cases [3,5,6,22,39], including an extreme case of a man with large lipoma of the upper limb (7 kg, 14% of body weight). the lesion grew for many years and resulted in such severe loss of function that the patient altered from right-handed to left-handed and developed a degenerative disease of the spine.…”

“…they usually occur in adults above 39 years of age, especially those that are obese. Morbidity is comparable in men and in women [3,4]. Single tumors (80%) are more common in women, whereas multiple lipomas mostly affect men.…”

Osteochondrolipoma of the Submandibular Region: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Currently, the terms osteolipoma and ossifying lipoma are generally used synonymously for soft tissue tumors without relationship to the underlying bone, while ossifying parosteal lipoma is used if the tumor is intimately associated with the periosteum. A review of the English literature found that, outside the head and neck area, lipomas with osseous differentiation have been reported in deep locations adjacent to bone tissue in the thigh [10][11][12][13], knee [14,15], sternoclavicular region [16], shoulder [17], wrist [14], hand [18], intraspinal [19] or in superficial subcutaneous tissue [20,21]. More than 60 % of the cases occur in the head and neck region, where they have been described in intraspinal [22], intracranial [23] (suprasellar/hypothalamic and interhemispheric) and extracranial-extraspinal locations [3][4][5][6][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”
