Giant, recurrent angiolipoma of the cheek - a case report

Abstract

Angiolipoma is a variant of lipoma with prominent vascular component. Although angiolipoma is the most common tumour in the trunk and extremities of young people, it occurs infrequently in the head and neck region with only few cases reported in the literature. Angiolipoma of cheek is very rare. The authors present clinical and histological features of a giant, non‐infiltrating angiolipoma excised from cheek of young female. Even though non‐infiltrating type of angiolipoma are not reported to have recurrence, our case was a recurrent lesion. It was completely excised.
