ABSTRACT

Chondroid lipoma is a rare benign lesion affecting the breast, in which the diagnosis of malignancy is difficult to be excluded during preoperative studies. In this respect, a correct histopathological diagnosis is mandatory in order to avoid overdiagnosis and subsequently overtreatment. In the present study, the case of a 61-year-old patient who self-referred for the development of a large tumor at the level of the left breast is reported. Biopsy raised the suspicion of a chondroid lipoma; thus, the patient was submitted to conservative surgery. The lesion was completely excised by performing a total mastectomy. The histopathological studies confirmed the presence of chondroid lipoma, with no signs of malignant transformation. At the 24-month follow-up interval no signs of recurrence were detected. In conclusion, although it may reach significan t dimensions, giant chondroid lipoma of the breast is a benign lesion that may benefit from conservative treatment and does not recur.
