The details of the pathogenesis of intraosseous lipomas are not fully elucidated, although most cases do not require surgical treatment. The present report describes the case of a 79-year-old female patient diagnosed with intracapsular lipoma who also exhibited an extraosseous extension. Chest computed tomography revealed an abnormal shadow or a mass in the right scapula and destruction of the glenoid bone. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a high-intensity mass on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images in the same area. Marginal resection of the mass was performed. The histopathology confirmed that the mass was a lipoma. No postoperative recurrence was observed. Oncologists must be aware that lipoma arising within the scapula may extend outside the bone.
