Infiltrating angiolipoma with phlebolith formation.

D De Orchis, M B Ozonoff

    Skeletal Radiology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Phleboliths, calcified vascular channels, are uncommon in lipomas. Their presence within a lipoma suggests an infiltrating angiolipoma, a benign soft tissue tumor with fatty and vascular elements.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Angiolipomas are rare benign soft tissue tumors.
    • These tumors contain both adipose and vascular tissue.
    • They can be encapsulated or locally invasive.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of infiltrating angiolipomas with phleboliths are presented.
    • Phleboliths were identified within the tumors.

    Findings:

    • The presence of phleboliths in a lipoma is a key indicator.
    • This finding differentiates infiltrating angiolipomas from typical encapsulated lipomas.

    Implications:

    • Phleboliths in lipomas can aid in diagnosing infiltrating angiolipomas.
    • This diagnostic clue may improve patient management and treatment planning.
