Abstract
Chondrolipoma of arm is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose, cartilaginous and osseous tissues. We present one such case in a 40 year old male with a swelling in left arm. The tumor was diagnosed as sarcoma clinically for which wide monobloc excision of the tumor and lattismus dorsi reconstruction was done. The diagnosis of chondrolipoma was possible only by histological examination. This case is reported because of its rarity.
