Angiolipoma of The Mammary Region

چکیده
Angiolipoma is a benign variant of lipoma that is rare in the breast and may be confused clinically, radiologically and pathologically with other benign as well as malignant tumors. Clinicians, radiologists and pathologists in particular should not forget the existence of an angiolipoma of the breast to avoid unnecessary reaspiration of the lesion considering the smears with only adipose tissue fragments as inadequate. We report two cases of angiolipoma who presented with solitary lumps in the breast and a clinical diagnosis of fibroadenoma was suggested in both the cases. Both were diagnosed as lipoma on cytology and on excisional biopsy, a histopathological diagnosis of angiolipoma was given

Angiolipomas are not uncommon tumors of the soft tissue, but are rarely found in other parts of the body. We report a case of intranodal angiolipoma in a 64-year-old man who presented with right inguinal swelling. Histopathological examination showed a tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and prominent vascular component, which is consistent with angiolipoma. We conclude that angiolipoma can...

متن کاملInfiltrative angiolipoma of the parotid salivary gland in a dog.
Solitary benign angiolipoma and infiltrative angiolipoma are rare tumours in dogs. Angiolipomata can be distinguished histologically from lipomata by the large number of tightly packed blood vessels seen between the adipocytes with multiple fibrin thrombi occupying some of the vessels' lumens. The dog presented with a solitary slow-growing mass in the cervical region. Histopathology revealed mu...
متن کاملSubcutaneous cavernous angiolipoma: a new soft-tissue entity.
Angiolipoma is a benign soft-tissue tumor which combines the morphological features of lipoma with those of hemangioma. The ratio of lipomatous and vascular components is variable, the latter reaching the highest percentage in the cellular variant of the tumor (1). It is important to distinguish this variant because cellular angiolipoma can have an infiltrative growth with a tendency toward loc...
