This is one not discussed a lot, but I seem to see it more and more - always incidental.

Answer: Liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor (LSMFT for short)

Historically it was benign but of course now there are case reports of malignant transformation so now I guess you have to put the MRI follow-up disclaimer on the report.
