Parosteal Lipoma Overlying an Osteochondroma of the Hyoid Bone: A Case Report and Literature Review. The Laryngoscope Green, A., Wei, E. X., Chang-Graham, A., Holmes, B., Smith, A., Sung, C. K. 2023

Abstract

Parosteal lipomas and osteochondromas of the head and neck are uncommon benign tumors, constituting a small fraction of lipoma and bone tumor cases. We present a unique case of a 66-year-old male with a parosteal lipoma overlying an osteochondroma in the anterior midline neck, causing dysphagia. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis, and a literature review revealed similar cases predominantly adjacent to the mandible or calvaria. This case emphasizes the need to have parosteal lipoma and osteochondroma on the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a firm mass of the central neck, especially with a history of trauma.
