Abstract
Angiolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor of soft tissue, composed of mature adipose tissue interspersed with proliferative vascular channels. Its occurrence in the cervical region is extremely rare, with limited cases documented in the literature. We report a case of a patient presenting with a gradually enlarging, painless neck mass. Radiological evaluation demonstrated a well-defined lesion, and complete surgical excision was successfully performed without complications. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of angiolipoma. A review of the literature was undertaken to highlight the clinical presentation, imaging features, and management strategies. This case underscores the need to consider angiolipoma in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses and supports surgical excision as the definitive treatment with an excellent prognosis.
