QUELCA-CHOQUE, Heber G  e  CRUZ-VILLCA, Marcia B. Angiolipoma of the maxillofacial region in a pediatric patient: a case report with literature review. Cuad. - Hosp. Clín. [online]. 2024, vol.65, n.1, pp.60-66. ISSN 1562-6776.  https://doi.org/10.53287/yoqs2266cm36x.

Angiolipoma is a neoplasia composed of mature adipose tissue accompanied by blood vessels. It is classified into two categories: infiltrating and non-infiltrating. The occurrence of this lesion in the maxillofacial region is uncommon in adults and even rarer in children. Diagnostic tools such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aid to stablish the diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment to be choice. We present a case of angiolipoma in the maxillofacial region of a 4-year- old patient, with facial aesthetic involvement. After clinical evaluation and imaging assessment, the lesion was successfully treated via intraoral surgical excision at the Pediatric Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the "Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uría" Children's Hospital.
