Spinal extradural angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor containing vascular and mature adipose elements. The most common location of this tumor is the thoracic level with a tendency to involve several spinal segments. Almost all spinal extradural angiolipomas develop on the posterior aspect of the dura. The authors report a case of surgically proven spinal extradural angiolipoma involving the thoracic level and describe its CT findings.

The role of ultrasound (US) is limited in the pathologic diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. It is possible to predict the pathologic results of some common soft tissue tumors with typical US features. We report the US and pathologic findings of three angiolipomas, one nodular hidradenoma, and one benign myofibroblastic tumor, which are uncommon soft tissue tumors with characteristic US findings.

Esophageal angiolipoma is a rare disease with unspecific clinical manifestations.This paper reported a case of esophageal angiolipoma confirmed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and summarized the clinical manifestations,endoscopic and pathological features,treatment and prognosis of the patients by reviewing the relevant literature,aiming to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease in the future.

We have experienced a patient (4-year-old female) with a granular cell tumor (GCT), Examination of patients skin showed a bean sized asymtomatic firm nodule on the left baek. Exciaional biopsy and histopathologic examination were perforrned under the impression of angiolipoma. The specirnen revealed a distinctive picture of GCT.

Angiolipomas are usually found in the soft tissues of the extremity, trunk, or neck. Spinal angiolipomas are rare, accounting for between 0.14% and 1.2% of spinal axis tumors, and the majority are extradural. We report a case of surgically proven extradural spinal angiolipoma with a high vascular content and involving the thoracic level.

An angiolipoma is a common mixed connective tissue tumor that commonly occurs in the trunk and extremities, and has been rarely reported in the breast. It is a benign variant of a lipoma that shows various appearances on mammography. It is usually seen with a well circumscribed homogeneously hyperechoic pattern on ultrasound. We report a rare case of an angiolipoma of the breast with no definite abnormality on mammography, appearing as an irregular homogeneously hyperechoic lesion on ultrasound.

We report on an unusual case with infiltrating extradural spinal angiolipoma. Most spinal angiolipomas involve the thoracic spine and infiltrating ones are also located mainly at the thoracic levels rather than lumbar lesion. In particular, there are few cases of lumbar extradural infiltrating type spinal angiolipoma. One case is that of a 52-year-old female with infiltrating extradural spinal angiolipoma involving lumbar 4 (L4) vertebra, who underwent a L4-5 laminectomy and surgical removal of the tumor. We achieved satisfactory results with surgical treatment of the patient. Spinal angiolipoma has a benign course with a good postoperative outcome.

We reviewed the clinico-histopathologic aspects. of 121 patients diagnosed as subcutaneons lipamas in 1981~1986, Additionally, the size of lipoma cells was statistica,lly compared with normal controls. The results were obtained as follows: The majority of patients visited the surgical department, specially general surgcry, whereas only 7 visited dermatology. The ratio of solitary to multiple type was 10:1. Females predominated in the patients with solitary type, outnumbering males in multiple type. While solitary type consisted of 98 patients (89.1%) with SL, 10 with FL and 3 with AL, multiple type had 7 with SL and 4 with AL. There were prominent incidences in the 5th and 6th decades followed by a slow decline. Faur of all 6 AL patients were multiple type. Males were affected in all but one. All AL patients showed non-infiltrating. The torso was mostly involved in 60.4% In 7 of all 17 AL lesions, the upper extremity was predorninantly involved. Sixty sevenr of the 136 masses were less than,3cm in diameter. In AL lesions, 76.5% was less than 3cm and likely to be smaller than other 2 types. The presumed time of onset was most common in 1~3 years The size of liporna cells was found to be slightly larger in only SL specimens than in controls(63.65+432pm and 56.32+6.50um respectively; p<0.0l).
