The parosteal lipoma is a very rare benign neoplasm of adipose tissue having an intimate relationship to the periosteum. The parosteal lipomas comprise only 0.3% of all lipomas. We have experienced a parosteal lipoma with hyperostosis of the left tibia, in 52 years old male. We report a case of parosteal lipoma and its clinical feature with review of the literature.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare type of lipoma, the incidence being approximately 0.3% of all lipomas. Moreover, parosteal lipoma coexisting with osteochondroma is extremely rare. A few cases with coexistence of osteochondroma and parosteal lipoma have been reported and they were thought to be reactive changes of adjacent bone by parosteal lipoma. However, temporal relationship of these tumors could not be explained. Here, we report a case of parosteal lipoma associated with osteochondroma of the right ilium developed over 6 years, with follow-up radiographs.

Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor. But the parosteal lipoma which occurs in deep tissue is very rare. The authors experienced a case of parosteal lipoma causing posterior interosseous nerve palsy around the proximal radius. A 53-year old male patient, who has motor weakness on right wrist and finger extension for 3 weeks visited. He was diagnosed as a parosteal lipoma causing postrior interosseous nerve palsy of the proximal radius. 6 months after the marginal excision, he was recovered from motor weakness.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare tumor that occurs very close to the bone, and accounts for approximately 0.3% of all lipomas. Chondrolipoma, a lipoma with cartilaginous metaplasia, is also a rare tumor consisting of mature adipose and cartilage tissues. Therefore, a tumor with characteristics of both parosteal lipoma and chondrolipoma simultaneously is extremely rare. Herein, we report the imaging findings of a parosteal chondrolipoma arising in the right periscapular area, confirmed based on surgical resection and histopathologic examination.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare kind of lipoma that occurring adipous tissue around the periosteum. It has been reported most commonly in the femur, the radius, the tibia and the fibular. Treatment consists of resecting the lipomatous tumor with further exeresis of the bone and periosteal excrescence in cases with hyperostosis. The authors report a rare case of parosteal lipoma occurring at the medial portion of the femur shaft with a review of the relevant literatures.

In contrast to ganglion of the soft tissue, periosteal ganglion occurring within or beneath the periosteum is a rare disorder. The differential diagnosis includes periosteal chondroma, lipoma, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath and periosteal osteosarcoma. Most common location for periosteal ganglion is the tibia, followed by radius, femur and ulna. To our knowledge, only 1 case of periosteal ganglion of the fibula has been reported in the literature. We report a case of periosteal ganglion of the distal fibula in a thirty-year-old woman treated with excision of the cyst and the adjacent periosteum.

We experienced a rare case of parosteal lipoma, which located on the periosteum of the foot 4th metatarsus. A 22-year-old woman visited the hospital with painful mass in her foot. Based on the assessment of plain radiographs, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance image, it was suspected as lipoma. Marginal excision was performed and parosteal lipoma was confirmed histologically. Any local recurrence and complications were not observed in 2 years after surgery.

A parosteal lipoma is a benign tumor containing mature adipose tissue and is intimately related to the adjacent periosteum. We experienced a very rare case of parosteal lipoma arising from the shaft of femur. A 46 years old lady visited the hospital with complaining of slowly growing mass in her thigh for 7 month. Initially, it was difficult to differentiate from osteochondroma, parosteal osteosarcoma or liposarcoma. Based on the assessment of plain radiogram and magnetic resonance imaging, it was suspected the parosteal lipoma or osteosarcoma. Marginal excision was performed, and it was confirmed to parosteal lipoma histologically. We present the case with review of literatures.
