Osteolipoma is the distinct histological variant of lipoma. Until now, a total of 17 cases have been documented in English literature. It is most commonly seen in buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, tongue, palate, and parapharyngeal spaces of the oropharyngeal region. The aim of the present communication is to report an unusual presentation of osteolipoma in the retromolar trigone. Conventional radiographs have revealed "whorled pattern" of radiographic appearance in our case that might be due to uniform distribution of bony trabeculae within tumor; such type of finding has not been reported till now. Hence, here, we add these new features to existing literature.
骨脂肪瘤是脂肪瘤独特的组织学变异型。截至目前，英文文献中共记载了17例。它最常见于口咽区域的颊黏膜、口底、舌、腭和咽旁间隙。本报告的目的是报道1例发生于磨牙后三角区的骨脂肪瘤的罕见表现。在我们的病例中，传统X线片显示出“漩涡状”的影像学表现，这可能是由于肿瘤内骨小梁分布均匀所致；迄今为止尚未有此类发现的报道。因此，我们在此为现有文献增添了这些新特征。
