“…Surgical excision is the treatment for both infiltrating and non-infiltrating angiolipomas (9). Carbon dioxide laser and liposuction may be alternative options for treatment of single or multiple angiolipomas (10,13,17,18). In the present case, we performed surgical excision.…”

Angiolipoma, spindle cell lipoma, mylelolipoma, chondrolipoma and myxolipoma are histologic variants of lipomas arising from fat tissue. Although angiolipoma is the most common tumor in the trunk and extremities of young people, it occurs infrequently in the head and neck region. The authors present the clinical and histological features of a non-infiltrating angiolipoma excised from the cheek of a 22-year old man. Clinical examination showed a soft, mobile, approximately 4 x 3 cm mass that could be palpated anterior to the masseter muscle. The mass was removed by an intraoral approach. Angiolipoma was confirmed on histopathologic evaluation. Lipomas represent about 1 to 5% of all neoplasms of the oral cavity. They are usually painless, soft, round and mobile. The diagnosis is based on both clinical and histologic characteristics. The treatment is surgical excision.

Multiple subcutaneous angiolipomas associated with new‐onset diabetes mellitus

A 44‐year‐old Hispanic man, with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus type 2 and cerebrovascular accident, presented to the Mount Sinai Department of Dermatology with sudden, fast‐growing nodules over both of his shins. Approximately 2 months before the appearance of the nodules, the patient was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 8.5%. The patient was taking metformin orally, 500 mg three times daily, at the time of presentation. Six nodules appeared over a period of days. They caused a burning, throbbing pain upon ambulation. Over a period of 6 months, the lumps decreased in size, and two totally disappeared. The resolution of the nodules coincided with the control of the patient's diabetes, as demonstrated by HbA1c of 5.5%. The patient denied trauma to the sites of the nodules. The patient denied any associated purpura or ecchymoses over the nodules. The past medical history was significant for a stroke with residual right hemiparesis at 42 years of age. The family history was negative for similar lesions, but an aunt did have diabetes mellitus type 2. The patient denied alcohol use, smoking, or intravenous drug use. Physical examination was positive for six soft, tender, freely mobile, symmetrical, well‐demarcated, round masses, 1–2 cm in diameter and skin colored, over the anterior aspects of both legs. The patient was obese (body mass index, 38.5). Laboratory tests (barring the initially elevated HbA1c) were normal. One lesion was excised. Histopathology revealed features typical of an angiolipoma (see Fig. 1a,b). A karyotype of the angiolipoma was not performed. 1 (a) Prominent vessels filled with fibrin thrombi at the periphery of mature fat lobules. (b) At higher magnification Because excision of one angiolipoma produced scarring with a poor cosmetic result, intralesional triamcinolone, 5 mg/mL, was tried without success.

The History of Liposuction

THE IDEA OF REMOVING excess fat from localized body sites is not new. 1 In 1921, Charles Dujarrier, in France, attempted to remove subcutaneous fat using a uterine curette on a dancer's calves and knees. 2 A tragic result occurred due to injury of the femoral artery leading to amputation of one of the dancer's legs. In 1964, Schrudde extracted fat from the lower leg through a small incision with a curette. Hematomas and seromas resulted from this technique. 3 Pitanguy favored an en bloc removal of both fat and skin to remove excess thigh adiposities. Significant noticeable incisions diminished the popularity of this technique. 4
