Abstract
Parosteal lipoma is a rare kind of lipoma that occurring adipous tissue around the periosteum. It has been reported most commonly in the femur, the radius, the tibia and the fibular. Treatment consists of resecting the lipomatous tumor with further exeresis of the bone and periosteal excrescence in cases with hyperostosis. The authors report a rare case of parosteal lipoma occurring at the medial portion of the femur shaft with a review of the relevant literatures.
