“…With respect to the ear, lipomas arising from the external auditory canal can be misleading and often imaging in the form of a CT scan of the temporal bones is needed to confirm diagnosis, especially if rare lipoma variants, such as angiofibrolipomas 5. In our case, the pinna arose from the subcutaneous tissues and diagnosis was straightforward despite its unusual location.…”

“…The other histological variants of lipomas include fibrolipomas, angiolipomas, angiomyolipomas, and infiltrating angiolipomas. 4 This classification is based on the relationship between the fat, muscle, blood vessel, and connective tissues involved in the tumor structure.…”

Angiofibrolipoma of Posterior Mediastinum with Transforaminal Extension

Angiofibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma, which commonly occurs in subcutaneous tissues. In the present report we illustrate the case of an angiofibrolipoma of the posterior upper mediastinum in a 75-year-old man presented with progressive chest pain. Xray chest showed a homogeneous opacity vertically oriented along the right lateral aspect of thoracic vertebrae with an obtuse angle to the mediastinum. The upper extremity of the mass extended above the superior clavicle, suggestive of a posterior mediastinal lesion. Thoracic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a posterior mediastinal mass, in keeping with a nonaggressive lesion, with particular endocanalar extension and heterogeneous signal and enhancement patterns that was highly suggestive of a mixed mesenchymal tumor. The tumor was incompletely removed by right postero-lateral thoracotomy with final diagnosis of angiofibrolipoma. To the author’s knowledge, such a case of angiofibrolipoma located in the posterior mediastinum has not been previously reported in the literature.

“…In this way, angiofibrolipomas are a mixture of mature adipocytes, vascular tissue and collagenous connective tissue. 2,5,6 Angiofibro lipoma is a histological variant of lipoma, which usually presents as a solitary, subcutaneous, circumscribed lesion in the back, neck or shoulders 7 . The growths are not encapsulated but are histologically distinct from surrounding tissues.…”

Angiofibrolipoma of the Calf

et al. 2013

Angiofibrolipoma is a neoplasm composed of fibrocytes, capillaries and matured adipose tissues. It is a rare histopathologic variant of lipoma, characterized by matured adipocytes, blood vessels and dense collagenous tissues. It is an extremely rare tumor with very few cases reported in the literature. We are reporting a 9-year-old boy who presented with a right calf swelling noticed since birth, slowly increasing in size which became painful about a year prior to presentation (at about the age of 8 years). The mass extended from the popliteal fossa to the junction of the gastro-soleus. Mid calf circumference on the right was 44 cm and 24 cm on the left. Clinically there was no foot drop. He had neither preceding trauma nor fall. He had no systemic symptom. Pre-operative plain radiographs, incisional biopsy and other ancillary investigations were done. Histopathology result after excisional biopsy revealed angiofibrolipoma and postoperative clinical improvement was significant. To our knowledge, such a case has not been previously reported in the literature.
