Large subcutaneous angiolipomata were observed bilaterally around the wrists, knees, and ankles in an adolescent boy. Growth had been slow since first noted at age 1 year. The tumors extended deeply between muscles, tendons and joint capsules, but without infiltration of these structures. The tumors recurred after subtotal excision. Muscular hypotrophy and deformation of bones near the affected joints were noted. An 8-year-old sister had similar tumors, suggesting a genetic etiology.

Article Synopsis
- * These conditions can arise in people without obesity, may have genetic links, and usually differ from lipodystrophy syndromes, which involve areas of fat loss.
- * The review discusses various forms of lipomatosis, including isolated conditions like Madelung disease and syndromic forms associated with genetic disorders, and highlights their potential impact on health and appearance.

Angiolipomas are uncommon spinal tumors which differ from their cutaneous counterparts in having larger caliber vascular stroma. Although slow growing, they can cause rapid spinal cord compression and sudden-onset sensorimotor symptoms due to vascular engorgement, hemorrhage, or thrombosis. The goal of surgery is spinal decompression, and favorable outcome is the rule.

Angiolipomas are among the most common benign soft-tissue tumors and usually present as solitary nodules; however, angiolipomas also may present as multiple subcutaneous nodules, typically on the arms and trunk of young men. Although multiple angiolipomas most often occur sporadically, a family history can be identified in a minority of cases. Familial angiolipomatosis is a rare condition with an autosomal-recessive transmission pattern that is characterized by multiple subcutaneous tumors and a family history of similar lesions, which are not associated with malignant neoplasms.
