== 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.
