Orbital Angiolipoma

Abstract

\s=b\Successful resection of an orbital angiolipoma in a 3-year-old child was performed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of angiolipoma in this site.

Orbital angiolipoma: a rare tumour of the orbit

“…It has been postulated that orbital lipomas develop due to embryonic sequestration of pluripotent mesenchyme and its growth into a lipoma during adolescence under the influence of hormones or trauma 3 4. However, in our case, as in two previously reported cases of orbital angiolipoma, there was no history of hormonal imbalance or orbital trauma 1 2. The tumour is usually seen in the early 20s with no sex preponderance.…”

“…The tumour is usually seen in the early 20s with no sex preponderance. The two previously reported cases of inferior orbital and orbitofrontal angiolipomas were noted in females aged 3 and 66 years, respectively 1 2 4…”

“…Here, we report a case of large orbital angiolipoma that showed some interesting imaging and histological findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third and largest orbital angiolipoma reported 1 2…”

“…Dermoids, being the most common differential diagnosis of fat-density orbital lesions, were kept as the first possibility in our case. In the first case report by Feinfield et al , lipodermoid was the presumptive diagnosis as the fatty lesion was close to the bulbar surface 1…”

Rectal angiolipoma: A case report and review of literature

“…Gastrointestinal angiolipoma is also a rare pathological condition [1,24] . The other uncommon localizations of angiolipomas are the renal tissue [41][42][43][44] , adrenal tissue [45,46] , breast [47] , thyroid glands [48] , parotid gland [49] , mediastinum [50] , orbits [51] , myocardium [52] and scrotum [53] . …”
