A chondrolipoma is an extremely rare form of a benign mesenchymal tumour which contains mature fatty tissue and cartilage. We are presenting a case of chondrolipoma of the lower lip which was seen in a 6-year-old girl. Chondrolipomas are rare neoplasms; their terminologies and pathogeneses have been controversial in the past. Chondrolipomas are uncommonly seen in the oral cavity, in children and in females. Hence, we are reporting this present case because rarity of this lesion.
