Angiolipoma is a subcutaneous nodule with vascular structure, having all other features of a typical lipoma. They are commonly painful. Angiolipomas manifest as multiple painful subcutaneous nodules commonly on the upper limbs. The can occur sporadically, with a family history or after trauma. Angiolipomas can be seen on CT scans and MRI but are diagnosed based on histopathology. Total excision or liposuction is used to treat angiolipomas. They are more common in men and usually appear in the second and third decades of life.

== Signs and symptoms == Angiolipoma typically manifests as many, painful subcutaneous nodules (solitary in only one-third of patients), most commonly originating in the upper limbs (of which the forearm accounts for around two thirds), trunk, and lower limbs. These lesions are well-defined, usually measuring less than 4 cm.
