“…Angiolipomas are histologically classified into two types: infiltrating and non-infiltrating. Infiltrating angiolipomas are not capsulated and have the tendency to invade and spread to the surrounding tissues [5]. The present case did not exhibit such a tendency and was, therefore, considered to be a non-infiltrating angiolipoma.…”

Bronchial angiolipoma successfully treated by sleeve resection of the right bronchus intermedius: a case report

BackgroundAngiolipoma is a rare, benign tumor that primarily develops in the limbs and trunk. The occurrence of angiolipoma in the lungs is extremely rare; to date, only two cases of primary bronchial angiolipoma have been reported. Here, we report a case of angiolipoma of the right bronchus intermedius that was successfully treated with sleeve resection and reconstructive surgery.Case presentationThis report presents a case of angiolipoma that developed in the right bronchus intermedius of a 68-year-old man. A chest CT revealed a 10-mm endobronchial mass that was clearly visible as a high-attenuation area of contrast enhancement. Bronchoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor on the anterior wall of the entrance to the right bronchus intermedius that was constricting the airway lumen. The tumor surface was covered with numerous engorged blood vessels, and the middle and inferior pulmonary lobes were intact. Bronchial sleeve resection of the right bronchus intermedius was performed. Histologically, a mixture of proliferating blood vessels and adipocytes were observed within the bronchus wall. Therefore, the pathological diagnosis was angiolipoma. Lung function was preserved, and complete resection of the tumor was achieved. At present (2 years and 7 months after surgery), the patient is recurrence-free.ConclusionAccordingly, using bronchial sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis techniques, we accomplished complete tumor excision and avoided the need to resect additional lung parenchyma. Our procedure preserved pulmonary function and yielded a curative result. Bronchoscopic intervention or minimal parenchymal resection should be considered as treatments for bronchial angiolipoma. Given the small number of reports of bronchial angiolipoma, the collection of additional data is important to elucidate the clinical characteristics of this rare tumor.

“…Angiolipoma is a rare disease origin from mesenchymal tissue. It is defined as benign mature adipose tissue and blood vessel, more common in extremity subcutaneous tissue and muscles [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ]. Lin et al described the characteristics of the tumor as tumor formation may be encapsulated or without a capsule, composed >50% of mature adipose tissue, blood proliferation seen microscopically [ 3 ].…”

“…Mediastinal angiolipoma is an extremely rare disease composed of mature adipocytes mixed with vascular components [ 1 , 2 ]. The location of this tumor was mainly in the limbs [ 3 ] and the trunk, making the mediastinal findings of this tumor often misdiagnosed with other types of posterior mediastinal tumor [ 4 ]. According to the literature, there were two entities in angiolipoma; infiltrating and noninfiltrating tumors [ 3 ].…”

Mediastinal angiolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue with an abnormal vessel. Owing to its unspecific symptoms and slow progressions, the diagnosis of this disease is often delayed by clinicians. Here we present a 68-years-old-woman presented with mild chest pain radiates to the back with chronic dry cough. Chest imaging showed right medial posterior intrathoracic mass attached to 3rd-5th vertebrae body without bone destructions. Exploratory thoracotomy with segmentectomy was successfully performed. Histopathology examinations showed adipose tissue surrounded by a blood vessel nest, typical for angiolipoma. The patient showed rapid recovery and was discharged a week after the surgery. After two years of follow-up, the patient showed no sign of tumor recurrence and was clinically stable. This case is the first occurrence of non-infiltrating mediastinal angiolipoma reported in Southeast Asia.

“…Intramuscular angioma is located within a skeletal muscle with histopathological features being mature adipose tissue, blood component, and muscle tissue (Val-Bernal et al, 2005). Non-in ltrating angiolipomas are encapsulated and are located subcutaneously (Liu et al, 2016). Other differential diagnoses might be the deep intermuscular lipoma and in ltrating lipoma.…”

Infiltrating intermuscular angiolipomas are rare. We report a cadaveric case of infiltrating angiolipoma in the muscles of the posterior axioappendicular region with literature in the context of live individuals. The macroscopic assessment showed a non-capsulated homogenous yellow mass was located between the trapezius muscle above and rhomboid major muscle below and invaded the dorsal scapular blood vessels from the rhomboid major muscle. It weighed 47.03 g, 8.5 cm x 6.6 cm x 1.7 cm (length, width, and thickness). Microscopic analysis shows mature fat cells, prominent blood vascular components, and no myxoid areas. Infiltrating intermuscular angiolipomas of the chest wall are very rare and to our knowledge, there is the scantiness of similar cases, hence we are providing an extra case of a giant infiltrating intermuscular angiolipoma of the posterior axioappendicular region, with particular emphasis on gross and microscopic features. In such cases, angiolipomas would require complete surgical excision to prevent continued growth, invasion, and recurrence.
