- Abstract
Introduction: Angiolipoma (AL) is a rare variant of lipoma, where adipose tissue and vascular components are intermingled. AL is very rarely found in the soft tissues of the oral region. The tumor occurs commonly in the trunk and extremities, especially in the forearm. Case Report: 1. A 7-year-old female patient reported to our college, with the chief complaint of swelling in the upper left back tooth region of the jaw since 15 days. Swelling was small in size and gradually increased to the present size (3 x 5 cm). Computed tomography (CT) revealed well circumscribed, fluid filled and a non-infiltrating lesion. 2. A 54-year-old female patient reported to our college, with the chief complaint of a swelling in front of the left ear lobe since 3 years. On examination, the swelling was found to be soft in consistency. Discussion: Angiolipoma was first reported by Bowen in 1912. In the oral cavity it was first reported by Davis et al., as a tumor occurring in the hard palate. Angiolipoma can occur at any age, but is relatively common in adolescence and in the young adults. Cytogenetic analysis shows the normal karyotype of Angiolipoma in contrast with the various other types of benign lipomatous tumors, most of which show rather specific clonal chromosomal aberrations. Conclusion: Angiolipoma is very rarely found in the soft tissues of the oral region, with only 21 cases being reported in the literature. Here, in this poster, we report two cases of angiolipoma.
