Image Description
Introduction: Chondroid lipoma is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor that shows both adipocytic and cartilaginous features. It usually occurs in the deep soft tissues of proximal limb and limb girdles of adult females. Correct recognition is important since it resembles myxoid liposarcoma and myxoid chondrosaroma. It does not recur or metastasize and is cured by simple excision.
