[Ossifying parosteal lipoma of the rib: a case report].
Ossifying parosteal lipoma is an uncommon form of parosteal lipoma. We report an exceptional rib localization where hyperosteosis probably arose from contact between the lipoma and the periosteum. Foci of metaplastic cartilage undergoing chondral ossification within the adipose tissue suggest a possible mixed origin.
