Clinical suspicion, plain radiographs, CT (Plain and 3 D) as well as MRI suggested a diagnosis of parosteal lipoma. Lipomas may be defined as benign lesions of mature adipose tissue without evidence of cellular atypia [1]. Lipomas are the most common soft tissue lesions and surprisingly are among the rarest bone neoplasias. The most frequent complaints are a tumoral convexity presenting as a visible or palpable mass or a mild-intensity, dull pain. The parosteal type is a rare tumor accounting for 0.3% of all lipomas [2] and is usually asymptomatic. It is seen commonly affecting adults aged over 40 [3]. The present article describes a rare case of parosteal lipoma located in the femur, with extensive hyperostosis visible on plain xray and confirmed by imaging studies (CT and MRI). Unlike the parosteal lipomas reported in adults over 40 yrs in this case it presented in a much younger age group.展开更多
Late relapsing parosteal osteosarcoma has been reported very rarely;however, to the best of our knowledge, long-term repeated recurrence of this tumor has not been reported yet.

Herein, we present a case of late relapsing low grade parosteal osteosarcoma after 15 years in popliteal cavity after advising tumor excision, removal of the organ involved, and the placement of prosthesis.展开更多

This is a rare bone proliferation with a pronounced periosteal reaction. Less than 100 cases have been described in the literature with far fewer outside the bones of the hand, feet, fingers, and toes. Although the etiology is unknown, a relationship to preceding trauma is suggested. The imaging and histologic features show an overlap with other bone lesions including bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation, subungual exostosis, and malignant surface tumors of bone and cartilage which include, periosteal and parosteal osteosarcoma. It is important to recognize the clinical presentation and diagnostic features of RPO as a benign entity so that it is not mistaken for a more aggressive neoplasm. We present a case of a right distal humeral lesion that on histopathological review revealed florid RPO. This diagnosis was not suspected on imaging studies, but was made on open biopsy of the mass. The patient remains disease free, years postoperatively. In addition to presenting this unique case report, we review the pertinent literature, and offer a differential diagnosis and treatment strategy for its management.展开更多
