Angiolipoma of the cheek: A case report with a literature review

Abstract

The case of an angiolipoma of the cheek in a 76-year-old man is reported. Angiolipoma is a benign tumor which is very rare in the soft tissue of the oral region, with only 21 reported cases, including our case. In our case, microscopically, the mass consisted of mature adipose cells intermixed with scattered vascular components. The tumor had a low proliferative capacity and the capsule was present, indicating a noninfiltrating type. After surgical treatment, the patient has done well with no sign of recurrence for 3 months.
