Angiolipoma
Definition
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.
