Case report: Recurrent parosteal lipoma at Dr. Moewardi hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parosteal lipoma is a rare and benign neoplasm originating from mature adipose tissue near the periosteum. Clinically, it is difficult to diagnose due to its similarity to the clinical manifestation of sarcoma, so imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry examinations are necessary.

Case presentation

A 54-year-old woman presented with lump on the right thigh that had gone through surgery eight years prior, with a diameter of 20 cm, with a partly hard and partly soft consistency, the patient was diagnosed with suspected recurrent liposarcoma. We performed wide excision and histopathological results showed a proliferation of bone cells and cartilage cells that were lobulated, surrounded by a proliferation of fat cells with no pleomorphism or immature cells.<
