BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma is a very rare lesion, which constitutes not more than 0.1% of bone tumors. The introduction of cross-sectional imaging, especially MRI, seems to have increased the detection rate of these lesions. CASE REPORT The authors presented 6 cases of intraosseous lipomas in bones of the lower extremities. All lesions were detected incidentally and presented radiographic...

Intraosseous hemangiomas are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all osseous tumors. The most frequent sites are the calvaria and the vertebral column. Involvement of the facial bones is rare, and occurs most commonly in the maxilla, mandible, and nasal bones. Only 20 cases of zygomatic involvement have been reported in the English-language literature. We report a case of an intraosseous hem...

Schwannomas are benign neoplasms originating from the neural sheath and occurring most often in the soft tissues of the head and neck. Intraosseous schwannomas, however, are rare. The most common site of occurrence for these unusual lesions is the mandible. This article documents a case of an intramandibular schwannoma and provides a review of the literature on intraosseous schwannomas, with sp...

Lipomas are common soft tissue tumors. Intraosseous lipoma is a rare lesion that constitutes not more than 0.1% of bone tumors. It can occur anywhere in the body and there have only been a few cases found in the mandible. Intraosseous fibrolipoma of the jaw is an uncommon histological variant of the classic lipoma and to the best of our knowledge only one case has previously been reported in th...

Valve failure with reflux and post-thrombotic syndrome are the factors most commonly correlated with varicose disease. Other rare etiologies can be put forward when these two main causes are ruled out. We report a case in which a young man presented chronic pain in the left tibia, varicose veins in the lower limbs and frequent occurrences of erysipelas. During investigation of the etiology of t...

Primary intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jawbones is an extremely rare malignant salivary gland tumour constituting 2-4.3% of all the reported mucoepidermoid carcinomas. We report a case of intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible in an 80-year old female patient developing from a previously diagnosed dentigerous cyst. An excisional biopsy was performed and the histopat...

Intraosseous lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from proliferating mature lipocytes. It often occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremity, and also in the calcaneus, humerus, mandible, sacrum and rib bones. Frequently, it involutes spontaneously through a process of infarction, calcification and cyst formation. It can either present as pain or be asymptomatic and only di...

Hemangioma is a benign tumor composed of blood vessels. It classified into three types: cavernous, capillary, and mixed. Intraosseous hemangioma type cavernous that originates within the bone. very rare for it to originate from inferior turbinate. Furthermore, we report new case recurrence after incomplete excision. The patient was 60-year-old woman who had been experiencing left nasal obstruct...
