Abstract
Angiolipoma is a benign variant of lipoma that is rare in the breast and may be confused clinically,
radiologically and pathologically with other benign as well as malignant tumors. Clinicians, radiologists and
pathologists in particular should not forget the existence of an angiolipoma of the breast to avoid unnecessary
reaspiration of the lesion considering the smears with only adipose tissue fragments as inadequate. We
report two cases of angiolipoma who presented with solitary lumps in the breast and a clinical diagnosis of
fibroadenoma was suggested in both the cases. Both were diagnosed as lipoma on cytology and on excisional
biopsy, a histopathological diagnosis of angiolipoma was given.
