Extracellular tumors found with the spermatic cord, known as neoplasms, are usually identified to be benign. However, the accurate and timely diagnosis of spermatic cord masses is highly crucial, especially when most results are often overlooked or unclear. In this review, we discuss the anatomy and embryology of the spermatic cord. Upon rooting these fundamental concepts, we discuss an array of benign and malignant neoplastic tumors, including their origin, pathological features, clinical evaluation and management, as well as other case-specific characteristics of unique presentation. Many of these neoplasms are based on local neurological, vascular, muscular, bone, soft tissue, or lymphatic origin, while others have metastasized from particular areas of the body.

“…Angiofibrolipoma has been described as one of the rarest histopathological variants of lipoma, with occurrence most often in thehead and neck region (1,2). Clinically, it is similar to conventional lipoma because it usually presents as a solitary, subcutaneous, well-circumscribed lesion (3). Lipomas are typically composed of mature adipocytes and arise from subcutaneous tissues of the trunk, neck, and proximal extremities.…”

“…Lipomas are typically composed of mature adipocytes and arise from subcutaneous tissues of the trunk, neck, and proximal extremities. However, there are also numerous histopathologic variants, including spindle cell, atypical or pleomorphic, sclerotic, glandular, fibrohistiocytic, and chondroid lipomas (4), myxolipomas (5), fibrolipomas, angiolipomas, angiomyolipomas, and infiltrating angiolipomas; these are categorized according to their content of fat, muscle, blood vessel, connective tissue, or other structures (3). In contrast to an angiomyolipoma, which is composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes, an angiofibrolipoma shows a different combination of elements; namely, a combination of mature adipocytes and blood vessels with dense collagenous tissue (as in our case) (3).…”

“…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

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.
