J Cutan Pathol. 2005 May;32(5):379-82. doi: 10.1111/j.0303-6987.2005.00335.x.

Abstract

Angiomyxolipoma (vascular myxolipoma) is a recently described rare variant of lipoma, four cases of which have been reported to date. Microscopically, the lesion consists of adipose tissue without lipoblasts, extensive myxoid areas, and numerous blood vessels. The main differential diagnosis of this lesion is myxoid liposarcoma, and other adipocytic lesions such as myxolipoma, myxoid spindle cell lipoma should be included. We report two cases of angiomyxolipoma located in the subcutaneous tissue of the forearm and the wrist.
