Angiolipoma, spindle cell lipoma, myelolipoma, chondrolipoma and myxolipoma are histological variants of lipomas arising from fat tissue. Although angiolipoma is the most common tumour in the trunk and forearm, it occurs infrequently in the head and neck region. In this report we present a case of angiolipoma occurring in the buccal mucosa of a 33-year-old man. The patient had noticed a painless mass in his buccal mucosa for 2 months. The surgically removed tumour, measuring 4 × 4 cm in diameter was histologically evaluated. The tumour was composed of proliferations of mature fat cells and connective tissue containing many small blood vessels, which were evenly distributed.
血管脂肪瘤、梭形细胞脂肪瘤、髓脂肪瘤、软骨脂肪瘤和黏液脂肪瘤是源于脂肪组织的脂肪瘤的组织学变体。虽然血管脂肪瘤是躯干和前臂最常见的肿瘤，但在头颈部区域很少发生。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例发生在一名33岁男性颊黏膜的血管脂肪瘤病例。患者注意到颊黏膜有一个无痛性肿块已有2个月。对手术切除的直径为4×4 cm的肿瘤进行了组织学评估。肿瘤由成熟脂肪细胞和含有许多小血管的结缔组织增生组成，这些小血管分布均匀。
