Lipomatous tumor	Age of onset	Gender preponderance	Location	Clinical features	Diagnostic feature(s)	Other features
Angiolipoma	Second and third decades of life	Male > female	More commonly seen in forearm May also affect trunk and upper arm	Subcutaneous nodule Tender to palpation Less than 2 cm	Encapsulated, yellow nodules with a reddish tinge A combination of fatty tissue and vascular channels Fibrin thrombi is present in vascular channels (characteristic finding)	Benign
Myolipoma	Fifth and sixth decades of life	Female > male	More commonly seen in retroperitoneum, abdomen, pelvis, inguinal region, or abdominal wall May also affect extremities	Subcutaneous mass which may also engage superficial muscular fascia Size differs depending on the location	Partially encapsulated mass with partially yellow-white cut surface A combination of mature adipocytes and sheets of well-differentiated smooth muscle No nuclear atypia Sieve-like appearance at low magnification (due to interspersed location of smooth muscle component)	Benign It is usually large and located in the deep soft tissues
Myelolipoma	Fifth decade of life	Male = female	More commonly seen in adrenal glands Other possible locations include: thoracic,  retroperitoneum  and presacral region,  mediastinum,  liver,  and bone	Usually asymptomatic May cause abdominal pain, nausea, and constipation (depending on the location and size) Uncommonly, may cause retro-peritoneal hemorrhage 3 to 7 cm	A combination of bone marrow elements and adipose tissue in varying proportions May show myxoid changes	Well-circumscribed radiolucent mass in radiologic imaging May have hromonal activity
Spindle Cell/Pleomorphic Lipoma	Fifth to seventh decades of life	Male > female	More commonly seen in posterior neck, shoulder, and back It is also reported in oral cavity	Subcutaneous nodule with firm consistency Slowly growing and painless Mostly between 3 to 5 cm	Similar to ordinary lipoma A combination of mature fat cells and spindle cell or pleomorphic elements Lipomatous component may vary in amount	Immunohistochemically positive for CD34 Benign
Chondroid Lipoma	Third or fourth decade of life	Female > male	More commonly seen in limbs and limb girdles May also involves trunk, and the head and neck region, particularly the oral cavity	Slowly growing painless mass Sizes ranges from 1 to 11 cm	Encapsulated tumor with a yellow, white, or pink-tan cut surface A combination of mature adipocytes in association with nests of vacuolated cells in a myxochondroid or hyalinized fibrous background	Heterogeneous soft tissue mass in radiologic imaging Benign
