    Author: Imbriaco M, Ignarra R, De Rosa N, Lambiase G, Romano M, Ragozzino A.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2003; 27(6):435-7. PubMed ID: 14585576.
    Abstract:
    Parosteal lipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of adipose tissue contiguous to the periosteum of the underlying bone. These tumors are slow-growing, nontender masses that affect, almost exclusively, the diaphysis of the long bones of the upper and lower limbs. We hereby describe the CT characteristics with the correlative pathological findings in a rare case of parosteal lipoma of the rib.
