“…In a literature review, we found only 22 cases of angiolipomas involving the gastrointestinal tract. Of these, one was located in the esophagus [6], three in the stomach [7-9], two in the duodenum [10,11], six in the small intestine [12-17], three at the ileocecal junction [18-20], five in the colon [3,10,21-23], and two in the rectum [24,25]. Angiolipomas in the gastrointestinal tract usually do not have specific clinical manifestations.…”

Colon angiolipoma with intussusception: a case report and literature review

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Angiolipomas are frequently observed benign tumors. They have a typical vascular component and are often located in subcutaneous tissues, and more rarely, in the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a 58-year-old man who complained of abdominal discomfort in the left lower quadrant and two to three bloody stools a day without any obvious etiology. These symptom became more severe in the next three days, due to a large angiolipoma located in the descending colon, which was diagnosed intraoperatively. In a literature review, we found only 22 cases of angiolipomas involving the gastrointestinal tract which are reported in the literature from 1960 to 2012 in PubMed; the key words used in the search are gastrointestinal tract angiolipoma, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestine, ileocecal junction, colon, rectum angiolipomas. Colon angiolipoma with intussusception, as seen in this case, is rare and may require emergent surgical intervention.

“…Only 15 cases of angiolipoma occurring in the gastrointestinal tract were found in a MEDLINE search. These angiolipomas were located in the esophagus in one case [4] , the stomach in 4 cases [5][6][7][8] , the small intestine in 5 cases [9][10][11][12][13] and the colon in 5 cases [14][15][16][17][18] . The search revealed no reported cases of rectal angiolipoma.…”

Angiolipoma is a common benign tumor with a characteristic vascular component that usually occurs in subcutaneous tissue. Although lipomas are frequently encountered at colonoscopy as submucosal tumors, angiolipomas are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract including the large intestine. Here we report a 77-year old Japanese man who underwent transanal resection of a tumor that was diagnosed tentatively as a leiomyoma. Histologically, the tumor consisted of mature fat cells and blood vessels. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were negative for c-kit and HMB-45, which are consistently expressed in tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumor and angiomyolipoma. The tumor was therefore diagnosed as an angiolipoma. This is thought to be the first case report of a surgically resected angiolipoma of the rectum.

“…12 Gastrointestinal (GI) angiolipoma is rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only 4 angiolipoma cases have been reported in the stomach so far (Table). [4][5][6][7] Occasional cases have been reported in other areas of the GI tract, including the esophagus, 13 duodenum, 8,14 small intestine, 15,16 colon, 9,11,[17][18][19] and rectum. 20,21 Angiolipoma in the GI tract almost exclusively occurs as a solitary lesion and usually lacks specific clinical manifestations.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Although endoscopic and radiologic examination may provide some helpful information, accurate preoperative diagnosis of gastric angiolipoma is often challenging. [8][9][10][11] The final diagnosis usually relies on histopathologic evaluation of the excision specimen. This review discusses the clinical presentation, radiologic and histopathologic features, ancillary studies, and differential diagnosis, along with treatment and prognosis for this rare gastric lesion.…”

Gastric Angiolipoma: A Rare Entity

Angiolipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue and proliferating blood vessels that is commonly found in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and extremities. Gastric angiolipoma is a rare entity, and to the best of our knowledge, only 4 cases have been reported in the English-language literature thus far. These tumors may present as gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia or with obstructive symptoms. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging because of nonspecific clinical symptoms and lack of specific findings on imaging studies. The correct diagnosis is usually made by histopathologic examination. The clinical significance lies in being aware of this rare entity in the stomach and distinguishing it from other benign and malignant gastric neoplasms that may be in the differential diagnosis. We herein discuss the clinical presentation, radiologic and histopathologic features, ancillary studies, differential diagnosis, and treatment and prognosis of this rare entity.
