We describe an unusual and rare case of a lipoma variant known as angiofibrolipoma. A literature search revealed only a few cases of angiofibrolipoma which were located in different anatomical sites; no case of angiofibrolipoma in the oral cavity has been previously reported. We present and discuss the histopatholological-immunohistological findings and features. Angiofibrolipoma histologically consists of mature adipocytes, blood vessels, and bundles of collagenous connective tissue with low to moderate cellularity. It is not encapsulated, but is histologically distinct from surrounding tissue. Positive immunohistological staining with CD-34 presented a large number of blood vessels of different sizes located between collagen fibers and adipocytes. The treatment of choice for a patient with angiofibrolipoma is surgical excision, which is expected to be curative.

Angiofibrolipomas are rare, benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature fat cells, blood vessels, and fibrous connective tissue. Typically occurring in subcutaneous locations, this case report presents a unique instance of an angiofibrolipoma arising in the pharynx. According to our review of the literature, it is the second reported case in the pharynx and the sixth in the head and neck region.

Angiofibrolipoma is a rare histopathological variant of lipoma, characterized by mature adipocytes, blood vessels and dense collagenous tissue. It is seldom seen in the oral and maxillofacial region. Clinically, as it shares macroscopic similarity with lipoma and fibroma, the diagnosis of angiofibrolipoma is only possible based on its histopathological features.

Liposarcomas of the head and neck are exceedingly rare, and fewer than 90 cases have been reported in the literature. Liposarcoma of the oral cavity is an even less common entity, and to our knowledge only nine cases have been reported to date. We report the clinical and pathologic findings of a case of well-differentiated liposarcoma of the base of tongue and tonsillar fossa.
