No case of infiltrating lipoma undergoing malignant changes has been reported in the literature [10]. Angiolipoma is characterized by prominent vascular components, whereas infiltrating lipoma is composed of mature adipose cells, inconspicuous blood vessels, and delicate strands of connective tissue [11].…”
