Abstract

Although adipocytic tumours are the most common mesenchymal tumours, chondroid variant is an extremely rare entity. Though proximal extremities, limb girdles and head, neck are common sites of occurrence, rarely cases of this unique entity have been reported in oral cavity. Chondroid lipoma due to its complex histology comprised of lipoblast like cells in myxoid and chondroid background, is aptly termed as pseudosarcomatous tumour. Importance of the knowledge of this distinct entity cannot be overestimated since it mimics soft tissue sarcoma. We report one such case of intra oral chondroid lipoma with ossification in young female.
