A benign tumor made up of fat cells and blood vessels, usually growing slowly and not spreading to other parts of the body.
From Greek 'angeion' (vessel) + 'lipo-' (fat) + '-oma' (tumor). This compound medical term specifically names tumors containing both vascular and adipose tissue components.
Angiolipomas are surprisingly common benign tumors that often appear as painless lumps under the skin—what makes them special is they're one of the few tumors where the blood vessel network is actually part of the tumor's defining structure, not just feeding it.
