Disease relevance of Angiolipoma

• We report 3 cases of HIV-1 infected patients who experienced symptomatic angiolipomas shortly after starting antiretroviral therapy including the protease inhibitor indinavir [1].
• It may be associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex, which includes renal angiolipoma, chylothorax and lymph node myomatosis [2].

High impact information on Angiolipoma

• Positive staining for FGF23 protein by immunohistochemistry was demonstrated in the giant cell tumor, but not in the angiolipoma [3].
• Infiltrating angiolipoma of skeletal muscle. Transplacental induction in nonhuman primates by N-nitrosoethylurea [4].
• CONCLUSION: Spinal angiolipomas are typically hyperintense on noncontrast T-1-weighted images relative to other tumors [5].
• The case of epidural angiolipoma reported here and a review of the literature revealed that this entity is distinct from cutaneous angiolipoma in that the calibre of its predominant vascular component is far greater than that of the fat cells [6].
• Follow-up of two hepatic angiolipomas in a patient without evidence of tuberous sclerosis is reported [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Angiolipoma

• Epidural angiolipoma is histologically distinct from its cutaneous counterpart in the calibre and density of its vascular component; a case report with review of the literature [6].
• The infusion of gadolinium (one case in the literature plus one of ours) is helpful as an indicator to the degree of vascularization of the angiolipoma [8].
