Abstract

Osteolipoma is a rare benign tumor which is especially uncommon in the head and neck region. Only seven cases of osteolipoma have been reported in the medical literature in last ten years. Although osteolipomas are benign and do not recur, resection can be difficult because of their tendency to adhere to the neighboring tissues. A case of osteolipoma in the back of the neck in a 34-year-old woman is presented and discussed in the light of the literature. It should be considered that a lipomatous mass with a long history in the head and neck area as well as in other areas may be an osteolipoma which may cause difficulties in surgical excision.
