Osteolipoma Arising Adjacent to the Sternoclavicular Joint.

A 45-year-old woman presented with one-year history of a mass on her chest. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a tumour near the sternoclavicular joint. The tumour was diagnosed as osteolipoma histologically after resection. Osteolipoma is a rare tumour and this may be the first report of osteolipoma arising adjacent to the sternoclavicular joint.
