Angiolipomatous Tumors in Dogs and a Cat

Abstract: Abstract. Variants of lipoma are uncommon, although fibrolipoma and infiltrative lipoma have been well documented. This report describes two cases of rare angiolipoma in dogs and the first documentation of angiofibrolipoma and infiltrating angiolipoma in a cat and a dog, respectively. Tumors were solitary, and most were located on the thorax of middle-aged patients. Angiolipomas were composed of mature adipose tissue mixed with variable numbers of blood vessels. In addition to the adipose and vascular componen… Show more

“…Simple lipomas are common in canines (Goldschmidt and Shofer, 1992;Hendrick et al, 1998;Weiss and Goldblum, 2001;Ligget et al, 2002). Fibrolipoma consists of a benign proliferation of adipocytes and excessive fibrous tissue.…”

“…This tumour is composed of mature adipose, fibrous and vascular tissue. Positive staining by Masson's trichrome method and/or negative immunohistochemical staining for smooth muscle actin allow for differentiation of an angiofibrolipoma from an angiolipoleiomyoma (Goldschmidt and Shofer, 1992;Hendrick et al, 1998;Weiss and Goldblum, 2001;Ligget et al, 2002). A case of a primary skin tumour within another primary skin tumour is rarely encountered in veterinary oncopathology.…”

“…Infiltration into and disruption of adjacent skeletal muscles were also observed in the angiolipoma in dogs. 6 Human and canine angiolipomas are considered to be benign neoplasms, and complete surgical excision is curative. Histologic findings in the subcutis of this dog were similar to those described in angiolipomatous tumors; however, the nondiscrete nature, extension and involvement of superficial and deep dermis and subcutis in our case were distinctive.…”
