Infiltrating Angiolipoma around Ankle: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Angiolipomas are benign adipocytic neoplasms with vascular structure, having all other features of a typical lipoma. They are commonly painful. Rarely these lesions may invade the contiguous bone, adjacent soft tissues and behave in an aggressive manner. They can occur anywhere, and are divided into infiltrating and non-infiltrating varieties. Non-infiltrating angiolipomas are seen in young individuals and are treated by simple enucleation. Infiltrating angiolipoma is a rare neoplasm and are usually non capsulated or rarely partially encapsulated and tend to infiltrate bony, neural, muscular and fibro cartilaginous tissues. We present a rare case report of infiltrating angiolipoma in a 17 year old female involving the ankle. The treatment of these lesions is predominantly surgical, although infiltrating tumours are difficult to excise completely. Keywords: Angiolipoma, Infiltrating, Non infiltrating, Soft tissue neoplasm.
