Rectal angiolipoma: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Angiolipoma is a rare vascular variant of the benign lipomatous tumors and is generally seen in subcutaneous tissues. We report a 70-year-old female with abdominal distension not related to rectal small polypoid mass with peduncule described as angiolipoma by histologically, and review the literature.

Angiolipoma-like Atypical Lipomatous Tumor/Welldifferentiated Liposarcoma

“…They are usually seen in subcutanous angiolipomas and not in angiolipoma-like areas in our case. In the literature like in our case, angiolipomas in the gastric, colonic and rectal locations without fibrin thrombi have been reported (7)(8)(9). The absence of fibrin thrombi in the deep soft tissue may be associated with less trauma in these areas.…”

Endoscopic resection of symptomatic simultaneous angiolipoma of the colon and duodenum: First case report and literature review

“…Gastrointestinal angiolipomas are recently being more recognized than previously acknowledged, thanks to the wide dissemination of endoscopy. According to a recent literature review, only 17 cases have been discovered worldwide (1). Our case is a rarer exemplification of synchronous (duodenal and colonic) angiolipomas that were both successfully removed by an endoscopic method.…”

Rare localization of angiolipoma in the gastrointestinal tract: a case series

“…We identified 27 cases of GI angiolipoma reported in the English language (Table 1); including our 3 cases, there were 30 cases. Among these 30 cases, 9 (30.00%) were located in the colon, 10–15 7 (23.33%) in the ileum, 16–20 4 (13.33%) in the stomach, 5,21–23 2 (6.67%) in the esophagus, 24,25 2 (6.67%) in the duodenum, 6,26 2 (6.67%) in the rectum, 27,28 2 (6.67%) in both the duodenum and colon, 26,29 1 (3.33%) in the jejunum, 30 and 1 (3.33%) in the cecum. 31 The 30 patients comprised 20 men and 10 women.…”
