Abstract
Aim: Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue neoplasms that rarely contain osseous and chondroid tissues. Lipoma with osteochondral tissue is usually named osteolipoma or chondrolipoma. In this article, we aimed to discuss the differential diagnosis and clinical features of osteochondroidlipomas.
 Case: We present a case of osteochondroid lipoma of the buccal region. Radiologic examination revealed a well-defined, lipomatous lesion that contained rough calcified areas. Intraoral excision was applied for the surgical treatment. There was no local recurrence in the follow up.
 Conclusions: Lipomas with osteochondroid metaplasia are rare lesions in the head and neck region. Osteochondroidlipomas should be considered in lipomatous lesions containing calcified areas that are well-defined, and they do not show erosion and destruction in the surrounding tissues in radiological imaging.
