Abstract

Background: Chondroid lipoma is an extremely rare variant of benign lipomatous lesions that is composed of lipoblasts, mature fat, and chondroid matrix. Although benign lipomatous lesions are the most common soft tissue tumors and imaging findings are often pathognomonic, there have been few reports describing the imaging features of chondroid lipoma.
