“…Angiolipomas are mainly located in the subcutaneous tissues of the trunk and extremities, and are tender or painful on palpation. Unusual locations reported in the literature, however, include the brain, breast, intramedullary and epidural spine, foot, cheek, lip, mediastinum, mandible, ribs, palate, parotid gland and orbit (12)(13)(14)(15). To the best of our knowledge, only one case of bronchial angiolipoma has been reported in the English literature to date (5).…”

Abstract. Angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor that most commonly occurs in the extremities and trunk. Angiolipomas originating in the bronchial tree are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one such case, confined to the bronchus intermedius, has been reported to date. The present study describes the case of an asymptomatic 74-year-old man with a yellowish round mass incidentally discovered at the orifice of the right lower bronchus during a routine health check. The tumor originated from the membranous part of the right inferior bronchus. Using a high-frequency electric snare and argon plasma coagulation under general anesthesia, successful bronchoscopic resection of the tumor was performed. At 15 months after the surgery, the patient remained recurrence-and symptom-free.

“…Data regarding the age of onset is sparse but angiolipomas occur mostly in young adults. 1 In a 20-year study by Lin and Lin, 5 the mean age of onset for non-infiltrating angiolipomas was 21 years and it was always after puberty. Our case is the first giant angiolipoma of the arm reported in the literature.…”

“…There are two types of angiolipoma (non-infiltrating and infiltrating) and they have different biological behaviours. 1 Often, the diagnosis of fatty tumours is late because, in most patients, the lesion is slow-growing and asymptomatic. Cosmetic deformities or compressive symptoms usually bring fatty tumours of the upper extremity to medical attention earlier than rapidly growing masses in other parts of the body.…”

INTRODUCTION Angiolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma and is the most common neoplasm in the trunk and extremities of young adults. It is extremely rare in elderly people, and its size is ≤4cm. Few data are available for large angiolipomas. CASE HISTORY An 86-year-old patient was admitted to our surgical department due to a large mass on his left arm, which was resected. The specimen measured 19.5 Â 15 Â 10.5cm. Histopathological examination revealed a benign non-infiltrating angiolipoma. This is the first report of a giant angiolipoma of the arm reported in an octogenarian patient. CONCLUSIONS Giant lipomas of the upper extremities are extremely rare. Resection is associated with cure in most patients, but regular follow-up should be considered.

Infiltrating angiolipoma of the foot: magnetic resonance imaging features and review of the literature

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Angiolipoma is a benign soft tissue tumor with two subtypes: non-infiltrating and infiltrating. Although histologically benign, infiltrating angiolipoma can invade surrounding structures. The foot is a very rare location for angiolipoma, with only four cases reported in the English literature, including one infiltrating type. Here, we report a very rare case of infiltrating angiolipoma of the foot with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) findings. A 7-year-old boy presented with a slowly growing foot mass. MRI showed an unencapsulated mass involving the third web space extending to the foot dorsum and sole. The mass was isointense to subcutaneous fat and was mixed with internal T1 low-signal-intensity enhancing areas. On US, we observed a heterogeneously hypoechoic mass with internal vascularity. Imaging and clinical features of angiolipoma and the radiologic differential diagnoses of a fat-containing mass in the pediatric foot are reviewed here. When there is an ill-defined foot mass with a fat component and variable enhancing portions in a child, infiltrating angiolipoma should be included in the differential diagnosis along with other fat-containing tumors.

Forefoot plantar multilobular noninfiltrating angiolipoma: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Background: Soft tissue tumors of the feet are uncommon and there have been very few reports of large series in the literature. These tumors continue to present the clinician with one of the most difficult problems in medicine.
