Abstract
Although soliter lipomas are very common soft tissue tumors, osteolipomas are rare.
We present a case of a solitary osteolipoma of the inguinal region in a 37 year-old male who was referred for a inguinal mass causing pain and compression of the neurovasculer structures of the inguinal region. The computed tomography scan helped to clinch the diagnosis and histpathology confirmed it. The well- demarcated, firm tumor was excised arising adjacent to the neurovasculer structures of the inguinal region.
Osteolipomas should be kept in mind in the different diagnosis of soft tissue masses as an extremely rare benign lesion.
