BackgroundLipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature adipocytes. They are classified according to their histological pattern and their etiology remains unclear. Objectives: To present two cases and review the literature.Material and MethodsA search was conducted in the Medline / PubMed and Scielo data bases of the last 10 years (2004-2014) with the keywords “ intraoral lipoma OR oral cavity lipoma”.Results46 articles with 95 cases (56 women and 39 men) were reviewed. The average age was found to be 52.28 years (52.28 ± 18.55); and most of them occurred between the 4th and 6th decade of life. Lipomas occur mostly in the buccal mucosa (n = 36, 37.9%), followed by the tongue (n = 23, 24.2%) and other locations (n = 36, 37.9%). The most common histologic pattern was simple lipomas (n = 40, 42%), followed by fibrolipomas (n = 18, 18.9%) and other types (n = 37, 39.1%). The average tumor size was 19.77 ± 16.26mm.ConclusionsLipomas are a relatively rare finding in the oral cavity. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. Key words:Benign oral tumor, oral lipoma, lipoma, oral cavity.

“…Angiolipomas usually occur in teenagers and young adults between 20 and 25 years old, most commonly in the forearm (approximately two-thirds of cases), followed by the upper arm, thigh, and front abdominal wall, with a size of 1-4 cm. Men are more often affected than women[ 5 ]. Arenaz Bua found that 5% of the cases had a family heredity, and the specific inheritance pattern was uncertain.…”

BACKGROUND Angiolipoma has been reported in many cases, and it often occurs in the skin of the trunk and limbs. However, angiolipoma in the scrotum is a rare disease with unknown etiology. This condition is difficult to diagnosis with other lumps in the scrotum. CASE SUMMARY A 32-year-old man presented to the urinary department with a history of an enlarged left scrotum with increasing discomfort for about 5 years. Physical examination revealed that there were a palpable mass measuring about 7.0 cm × 6.5 cm in the left scrotum, with smooth surfaces but without tenderness or adhesion to the skin. Ultrasound showed that there was a hyperechoic mass under the skin of the top scrotum, about 72 mm × 64 mm × 21 mm in size, with clear borders, uneven internal echo, and abundant blood flow signals. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein were in normal level. Subcutaneous mass resection at the bottom of the left scrotum was performed under local anesthesia with 1% lidocaine. Postoperative pathological examination resulted in a diagnosis of subcutaneous angiolipoma of the scrotum. No evidence of recurrence was found at 6 mo after surgery and there were no complaints of discomfort. CONCLUSION Angiolipoma is an extremely rare type of benign tumor extremely rarely found in the scrotum, but needs to be considered when evaluating scrotal masses especially when the mass is solid. According to the characteristics of angiolipoma, surgical resection is the best treatment strategy and it is not prone to recurrence after resection.

Introduction. Solid, fat-containing tumors of the testes are extremely rare with only a few cases having been reported so far, contrary to the more frequent occurrence of paratesticular lipomatosis. Testicular angiomyolipomas and gonadal involvement in Cowden’s disease, although infrequently occurring, are known examples of fat-bearing testicular lesions. Hereby, we present an extremely rare case of intratesticular angiolipoma. Angiolipomas are benign tumors of the subcutaneous tissue commonly occurring in the trunk and the extremities. Histologically, they are characterized by ample vascularity and an excess of mature adipocytes. Definitive diagnosis is established by biopsy of the lesion. Presentation of the Case. A 35-year-old patient presented to our andrology outpatient clinic for fertility assessment. Physical examination of external genitalia revealed no significant pathology. Testicular ultrasound however depicted an isoechoic lesion on the upper pole of the right testis measuring 1.8 cm×0.8 cm×1 cm and exhibiting intense arterial flow. After sonographic and MRI investigation, the patient was referred for semen analysis and cryopreservation. Subsequently, the patient underwent testicular biopsy (frozen section biopsy) and right partial orchiectomy. Final histology reported a noninfiltrating testicular angiolipoma. No recurrences have been observed in the follow-up period. Discussion. Angiolipomas, which mainly occur in the trunk and extremities, are classified as infiltrating and noninfiltrating. The diagnosis is based on both clinical and histologic criteria, and the main method of treatment for both types is by surgical excision. The infiltrating type exhibits higher recurrence rates. Conclusion. Angiolipomas commonly occur in the subcutaneous tissue and have been invariably treated by radical excision. Hereby, we report the first case of an intratesticular, noninfiltrating type angiolipoma which was treated by partial orchiectomy.
