“…Moreover, angiolipomas can be distinguished from lipomas by their painful nature, which may be dependent on the degree of vascularity of the tumor [3]. Although many of the colonic angiolipomas in the literature presented with abdominal pain or discomfort, rectal bleeding or positive fecal occult blood testing on examination was more commonly reported on presentation [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This is consistent with the patient in this case Branching network of thin-and thick-walled vessels vary in sizes.…”

Angiolipomas are benign, subcutaneous tumors that are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract. Still, because they may present with abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, it is important to recognize the clinical, radiological, and endoscopic findings associated with these masses. Herein we report a case of an angiolipoma of the colon diagnosed in a 49-year-old male presenting with self-limited gastrointestinal bleeding who subsequently underwent surgical resection without complications.

“…We identified 27 cases of GI angiolipoma reported in the English language ( Table 1 ); including our 3 cases, there were 30 cases. Among these 30 cases, 9 (30.00%) were located in the colon, 10 – 15 7 (23.33%) in the ileum, 16 – 20 4 (13.33%) in the stomach, 5 , 21 – 23 2 (6.67%) in the esophagus, 24 , 25 2 (6.67%) in the duodenum, 6 , 26 2 (6.67%) in the rectum, 27 , 28 2 (6.67%) in both the duodenum and colon, 26 , 29 1 (3.33%) in the jejunum, 30 and 1 (3.33%) in the cecum. 31 The 30 patients comprised 20 men and 10 women.…”

Rare localization of angiolipoma in the gastrointestinal tract: a case series

et al. 2020

Objective Angiolipoma is a benign tumor that rarely occurs in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This case series was performed to increase clinicians’ understanding of the diagnosis and management of GI angiolipoma. Methods We evaluated the clinical presentations, diagnoses, and treatments of 3 patients with angiolipoma in the upper GI tract in our hospital and 27 cases reported in the literature. Results Among all 30 cases of GI angiolipoma, 2 originated in the esophagus, 4 in the stomach, 2 in the duodenum, 1 in the jejunum, 7 in the ileum, 1 in the cecum, 9 in the colon, 2 in the rectum, and 2 in both the duodenum and colon. Conclusion Angiolipoma of the GI tract may be more likely to occur in middle-aged and elderly men and be located in the ileum and colon. The clinical manifestations generally involve upper GI hemorrhage and lower GI pain and obstruction. Computed tomography and endoscopy may be effective diagnostic techniques, but postoperative histopathologic examination is still the gold standard. The management of angiolipoma in the GI tract depends on the size and type of lesion. Most cases in the present series were managed by complete surgical resection, after which no recurrence was found.

Angiolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that often occur under the skin of the upper extremity or thoracic and abdominal walls. Angiolipomas of the digestive tract are rare. Here, we describe a case of transverse colon angiolipoma with intussusception resected by laparoscopy-assisted surgery. A 50-year-old woman visited a family hospital with complaints of left lower abdominal pain and bloody stool. Colonoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor in her left colon. She was referred to our hospital for further examination. Computed tomography revealed a low-density tumor with intussusception in the left transverse colon. Elective surgery was planned for this patient because there were no alarming symptoms such as ileus or obstruction. Laparoscopy-assisted surgery and partial resection of the left transverse colon were performed. The histopathological diagnosis was angiolipoma of the colon. Angiolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the digestive tract. Thus, accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult.
