Osteolipoma, rare cause of inguinal mass
Osteolipoma, causa infrecuente de masa inguinal
Resumen:
Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors. Osteolipoma is an extremely rare histological variant of lipoma that contains mature lamellar bone within the tumor and is even more rare if it has no direct connection to bone structures. We present the case of a 45-year-old patient who came to the clinic for noticing a painless inguinal mass. Preoperative imaging tests found a space-occupying lesion that required surgical excision. The Pathology report revealed a giant osteolipoma independent of bone structures, an entity with very few cases published in the bibliography
Los lipomas son los tumores benignos de tejidos blandos más comunes. El osteolipoma es una variante histológica extremadamente rara de lipoma que contiene hueso laminar maduro dentro del tumor y es todavía más infrecuente si no tiene conexión directa con estructuras óseas. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 45 años que acudió a consulta por notarse una tumoración inguinal indolora. Las pruebas de imagen preoperatorias hallaron una lesión ocupante de espacio que precisó exéresis quirúrgica. El informe de Anatomía Patológica evidenció un osteolipoma gigante independiente de estructuras óseas, una entidad con muy pocos casos publicados en la bibliografía.
