Description
Summary:Cellular angiolipoma is a rare subtype of angiolipoma, with vascular density approaching 95%. This case report describes a 55-year-old female that presented for treatment of a mass in her left breast that had been tender to slightly painful on palpation for nearly 2 years The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass, which was pathologically confirmed as a cellular angiolipoma. As of the 3-year follow-up, the patient reported no recurrence of the lesion. It is important to report this case and refresh knowledge of this and similar lesions to raise awareness of this diagnosis and treatment and improve future management of cellular angiolipoma cases.
