“…In a literature review, we found only 22 cases of angiolipomas involving the gastrointestinal tract. Of these, one was located in the esophagus [6], three in the stomach [7-9], two in the duodenum [10,11], six in the small intestine [12-17], three at the ileocecal junction [18-20], five in the colon [3,10,21-23], and two in the rectum [24,25]. Angiolipomas in the gastrointestinal tract usually do not have specific clinical manifestations.…”

Colon angiolipoma with intussusception: a case report and literature review

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Angiolipomas are frequently observed benign tumors. They have a typical vascular component and are often located in subcutaneous tissues, and more rarely, in the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a 58-year-old man who complained of abdominal discomfort in the left lower quadrant and two to three bloody stools a day without any obvious etiology. These symptom became more severe in the next three days, due to a large angiolipoma located in the descending colon, which was diagnosed intraoperatively. In a literature review, we found only 22 cases of angiolipomas involving the gastrointestinal tract which are reported in the literature from 1960 to 2012 in PubMed; the key words used in the search are gastrointestinal tract angiolipoma, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestine, ileocecal junction, colon, rectum angiolipomas. Colon angiolipoma with intussusception, as seen in this case, is rare and may require emergent surgical intervention.

“…For example, lipomas, lipomatosis, lipoblastoma, lipoblastomatosis, angiolipomas, and myolipomas are considered benign adipose tissue tumors (6). Angiolipomas show iso-hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and most lesions develop with contrast medium administration (8).…”

“…Angiolipomas comprise 5-17% of lipomas (6). It is mostly accepted by the authors that angiolipomas may be developed by embryonic sequestration of multipotential mesenchymal cells, and puberty activates this process via hormones (7).…”

Background: Angiolipomas are benign tumors usually seen in patients during their 2 nd and 3 rd decades. The subcutaneous region of the trunk, neck and extremities are the places where they generally settle. There is only one case report on angiolipoma in the knee joint that was resected by arthroscopic procedure in the English literature. Case Report: We present a case of a giant-size multilobular non-infiltrating angiolipoma, extending outside of the right knee joint and causing lateral patellar dislocation in a thirteen-year-old boy. A large encapsulated mass with fatty and soft-tissue components on magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of a liposarcoma. However, the diagnosis after the tru-cut biopsy was angiolipoma. The Quadriceps angle was 25°. Complete resection of the tumoral mass and repair of the medial retinaculum were performed with open surgery. Patellofemoral alignment was provided by transferring the tibial tuberosity medially. One year after the surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Intra-articular angiolipomas are rarely seen masses in the knee joint. To our knowledge, this case report is the first to demonstrate that angiolipoma causes patellar dislocation.

“…Angiolipomas occur predominantly about the trunk and extremities in young to middle-aged adults, and in distinction from simple lipomas they are more often associated with pain. Angiolipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, though they have been described and reported to occur from the oesophagus to the rectum 3. Colonic angiolipomas are particularly rare, though when they occur, presentation most commonly includes lower gastrointestinal bleeding, followed by obstruction or pain 4 5.…”

Rare cause of colonic intussusception in an adult

Colonic intussusception is an uncommon phenomenon in adults. Advanced imaging has facilitated the increase in awareness of this rare disease. When present, the lead point is most often secondary to a malignancy with primary adenocarcinoma being the most frequent cause. Current surgical management involves oncologic resections for this reason. This is a report of the third ever-reported case of colonic intussusception secondary to an angiolipoma and the first in the western hemisphere. We also demonstrate that these masses are amenable to minimally invasive resection for definitive management.
