Abstract

Chondrolipoma is rare and is mainly encountered in large-sized, long-standing lipomas. Chondrolipoma can be found at almost any site of the body, particularly in the connecting tissue of the skeletal system, breast, pharynx, and nasopharynx. A small number of chondrolipomas have been reported in the literature with rare magnetic resonance examples available. Here, we report a rare case of chondrolipoma in the shoulder and review its radiographic and pathologic correlation. This paper aims to report plain radiograph, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance examples of chondrolipoma
