Ossifying lipoma at the wrist

Background: Ossifying lipomas located in the hand are extremely rare. Case: We describe a rare case of ossifying lipoma in a 46-year-old male, independent of bone tissue at the wrist. The mass was excised, and postoperatively, the patient’s symptoms disappeared and no recurrence was observed at 6 months of follow-up. Conclusion: The pathogenesis of osteolipoma may be due to neoplastic changes or reactive ossification, otherwise the treatment of choice does not differ.
