Core Tip
Core Tip: Bone lipoma is very rare and often exhibits no characteristic clinical manifestation. The confirmative diagnosis of lipoma largely relies on a combination of imageology and biopsy. Surgical intervention is a recommended conventional therapy for bone lipoma. In the present case, the patient made an uneventful postoperative recovery with a good prognosis, and no local recurrence of the tumor was observed.
