Abstract
RATIONALE
Chondroid lipoma (CL) is a rare benign tumor. No relevant epidemiological reports have been published on CL, and there is a lack of uniform diagnostic and treatment criteria for the tumor.
PATIENT CONCERNS
Here, we report a case of CL with a mass on the left buttock for 2 weeks, and further illuminate its diagnosis and treatment.
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis of CL was rendered according to the pathological indices.
INTERVENTIONS
The tumor was resected completely under spinal anesthesia.
OUTCOMES
The patient was followed-up for 6 months and showed no tumor recurrence or metastasis and there was resolution of the patient's lower-limb numbness and pain.
LESSONS
The case study presented here provides evidence that CL could be effectively diagnosed by using ultrasound, puncture or biopsy, and/or magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, the patient recovered without any complications after completely resecting the tumor.
