Abstract
The case of a 50-year-old woman with recently developed microcalcifications on mammogram which were suspicious for malignancy is presented. The lesion was surgically removed and histological examination revealed islands of mature adipose and cartilaginous tissues with calcifications and focal ossification. Chondrolipoma is a benign tumor and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The clinical and histological features are described, and the differential diagnosis and etiopathogenesis are discussed.
