Abstract

Lipomas correspond to the most common tumors of the soft parts. Parosteal lipoma can manifest at any age, with a peak incidence between of 40 and 60 years old. It is a rare, benign, slow-growing tumor that grows exophytically from the periosteum. The most common sites are those that grow on the diaphyseal surface of long bones and extremities, such as the femur and proximal radius. The scapula is a very rare site of parosteal lipoma. In this study, we report a case of a parosteal lipoma growing up from the scapula associated with an osteochondroma in a 54-year-old female patient.
