Angiomyxolipoma of the Cheek: A Rare Oral Tumour

Angiomyxomas, also known as vascular myxolipomas, are a rare type of soft tissue tumor characterized by the proliferation of adipose tissue within a myxoid stroma accompanied by multiple vascular channels. They represent a distinct variant of lipomas and require differentiation from other benign and malignant lipoma subtypes. Despite their rarity, only a few cases of angiomyxolipoma have been documented in medical literature. We present a case of angiomyxolipoma occurring in the cheek of a 40-year-old female patient who presented with a long-standing history of swelling on the left side of her face. Histopathological examination revealed alternating nests of myxoid and adipose tissue containing dilated blood vessels, which confirmed the diagnosis of angiomyxolipoma. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and accurately diagnosing rare soft tissue tumors like angiomyxolipoma to guide appropriate management and follow-up care.
