Abstract:
Osteolipoma are uncommon benign soft tissue tumors, deriving from fat cells metaplasia. We report a case of 47-year-old female with a progressively enlarging, painless mass over the anteromedial aspect of left ankle, explorations showed a calcified masse and histopathologic diagnosis was in favor of osteolipoma, which was resected surgically without any recurrence after 2 years follow up. This tumor can affect different regions of the body but ankle location is very rare and must be distinguished from other diagnosis essentially sarcoma.
