• Adenolipomatosis — A condition characterized by the benign, simultaneous, and excessive proliferation of adipose tissue within or around lymph nodes and glandular structures, leading to a diffuse enlargement of their volume. This histopathological structural phenomenon disrupts the normal architecture of regional soft tissue, generating palpable nodular formations that are often asymptomatic but can pose differential diagnosis challenges with simple lipomas or malignant lymphadenopathies.
• Adipectomy — A surgical intervention consisting of the extirpation or excision of a quantity of adipose (fat) tissue from the body, performed for reconstructive, therapeutic, or aesthetic purposes. This structural surgical procedure is utilized to remove voluminous lipomas, correct fat distribution anomalies, or restructure body contours following massive weight loss.
• Adipo- — A combining form or scientific lexical element, derived from Latin, structurally used in international medical and biological terminology to construct neologisms directly referencing fat, adipose tissue, lipids, or fatty acids within the organism.
• Adipocele — A rare hernial formation or hernial sac whose structural content consists exclusively of fatty (adipose) tissue or omentum, without the involvement of intestinal loops or other internal organs; a fatty hernia most frequently located in the inguinal or umbilical region.
• Adipose — Containing fat, structurally formed of fat, or possessing its characteristics. In anatomy and histology, it describes the type of connective tissue specialized in storing triglycerides inside cells called adipocytes, fulfilling essential roles as an energy reserve, thermal insulation, and mechanical protection of organs.
• Angiolipoma — A benign tumorous formation of a mixed nature, structurally composed of mature adipose tissue (lipoma) and a well-defined, rich network of proliferated and often thrombosed blood vessels (angiomatous component). This histological lesion frequently occurs at the subcutaneous level, particularly on the forearms or trunk in young adults, clinically manifesting as firm, well-circumscribed nodules that, unlike classic lipomas, are often painful to the touch.
