OBJECTIVE To describe and analyze the ultrasonographic appearance of subcutaneous angiolipoma in pathology-proven cases. METHODS We retrospectively searched the January 2004 to May 2011 surgical pathology database for cases of pathology-proven angiolipoma. The ultrasonographic findings were analyzed for angiolipoma size, shape, margin, echo texture, echogenicity, acoustic enhancement, calcifications, and color Doppler flow. RESULTS Of 31 angiolipomas, 19 lesions occurred in an upper extremity, one in a lower extremity, nine in the chest and abdominal wall, and two in the back. The mean tumor size was 17.7 mm. Twenty-five cases (80%) appeared as oval mass and all tumors had well-defined margins. All cases showed hyperechoic; 14 (45%), homogeneous; 17 (55%), heterogeneous. Seven cases (23%) showed blood flow in the mass. Acoustic enhancement and calcification was not shown in any cases. A correct preoperative diagnosis was made in three cases (10%) by ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS Most subcutaneous angiolipomas are oval-shaped, have well-defined margins, and hyperechoic appearance on ultrasonography. Although color Doppler flow of subcutaneous angiolipoma is not seen in many cases, it may helpful in differentiating angiolipoma from ordinary subcutaneous lipoma.
