A 6-year-old female spayed Shetland Sheepdog presented for evaluation of a subcutaneous mass over the right prescapular region. The mass had been cytologically diagnosed as a lipoma by the referring veterinarian 20 months prior, but had grown significantly and was very firm. CT scan of the mass was suggestive of neoplasia; however, the tissue of origin could not be determined. Histopathologic evaluation diagnosed infiltrative angiolipoma, and marginal resection of the tumor was performed. Infiltrative angiolipomas are benign but locally aggressive neoplasms uncommonly reported in veterinary medicine. This report correlates the clinical, CT, and histopathologic characteristics of an infiltrative angiolipoma.

“…The pathogenesis behind the formation of angiolipomas is unknown, though trauma has been suggested as a possible cause in humans . Angiolipomas in humans are reported to be painful; this does not appear to be the case in the patient described here, nor has tumor‐associated pain been described in previous veterinary patients …”

“…Although considered benign, inadequate excision of infiltrating angiolipoma can lead to recurrence [ 14 ]. A search of the literature, between 1980 and 2019, found only 42 cases of angiolipoma of the head and neck, seven of which originated in the neck [ 1 , 2 , 9 , 12 , 18 ].…”

Angiolipoma in the Head and Neck: Imaging, Diagnosis and Management

et al. 2020

Angiolipoma, distinguishable from other lipomas by its excessive degree of vascular vessels, are rare in the head and neck and require unique management. A slow growing mass, located underneath the inferior border of the right mandibular angle of a 51-year-old female, was excised under general anesthesia. Unexpected excessive bleeding during the excision was observed and the histological specimen was diagnosed as angiolipoma. As shown in this case report, pre-operative imaging modalities have a crucial influence and are sufficient to diagnose and manage angiolipomas. The “Gold standard” treatment is excision with clear margins and bleeding management should be taken into account according to appropriate differential diagnosis.

Lipomatous tumours are rare in the head and neck region. Their biological behaviour varies greatly, from absolutely benign to histologically benign but locally infiltrative and, finally, invasive with metastatic potential. Each lipomatous tumour has to be treated accordingly. It is of paramount importance before eventual surgery is planned to perform adequate imaging, diagnostic biopsy and careful assessment. Only in small (<5 cm), superficial soft tissue tumours or when magnetic resonance imaging has demonstrated specific features of lipoma, may diagnostic biopsy be omitted. In these cases, expectant management or simple excision is appropriate. Adequate preoperative diagnosis is important to assure adequate tumour control as well as optimal functional and cosmetic outcome. The major problem in the treatment of lipomatous tumours of the head and neck region is the presence of nearby delicate structures. Especially, wide surgical excision of liposarcomas may be hindered by anatomic constraints and may result in impaired functional and cosmetic outcome. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and specific systemic chemotherapy may be helpful in the treatment of liposarcoma, especially when unresectable or when primary surgery is expected to result in poor oncological, functional or cosmetic outcome. Greater emphasis placed on the underlying biology of individual sarcoma subtypes, development and evaluation of novel therapies and greater specificity in the selection of chemotherapy agents based on activity in individual histological subtypes are expected to lead to improved efficacy of systemic treatment.
