TUMOR CONDROLIPOMATOSO (CONDROLIPOMA) DE MAMA

Abstract

Introduction: Cartilage is an uncommon component in breast lesions, most of cases it correspond to metaplasia of malignant neoplasm and its occurrence in benign tumors is exceptional. Cartilage- containing breast benign tumors has been subclassified by their majors features accord to each author, but their main composition remains to be adipose tissue, fibrous stroma and cartilage, with or without breast epithelium. Chondrolipoma of the breast was reported for the first time by Kaplan in 1977, and since then reports of this entity has been anecdotal with less than 20 cases published. Clinical case: We expose the first case diagnosed of chondrolipoma of the breast in Colombia, performed on the Pathology Department of Universidad Industrial de Santander (Bucaramanga-Colombia) along with a literature review, due to the low frequency of this diagnosis and the few information about it.
