Chondrolipoma in an uncommon location: case report

Chondrolipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor that may occur anywhere in the body, such as soft tissues of the skeletal system, but is rarely seen in oral cavity. This lesion is a rare histologic variant of the lipoma with uncertain pathogenesis. A 68-year-old woman presented a nodule that was sessile, erythematous, and measured 1 cm in the region of the middle line in the upper alveolar ridge with complaint of painful symptomatology and bleeding, associated with the use of poorly adapted upper prosthesis.
