They are commonly painful.[1]: 624 [2] Angiolipomas manifest as multiple painful subcutaneous nodules commonly on the upper limbs. The can occur sporadically, with a family history or after trauma. Angiolipomas can be seen on CT scans and MRI but are diagnosed based of histopathology. Total excision or liposuction is used to treat angiolipomas.
