title: Chondroid lipoma associated with osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells - a case report.
abstract: Chondroid lipoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm. We report case of chondroid lipoma associated with osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of these giant cells has not been previously described in the English literature. The recognition of these cells is important and their occurrence in this rare neoplasm should not mislead the pathologist to misdiagnose this entity.
