Presentation
Angiolipomas are benign subcutaneous tumors that usually present on the arms, legs, and trunk in young men. Angiolipomas typically range in size from 1 to 4 cm in diameter, and multiple lesions often are present. [mdedge.com]
Abstract Angiolipomas are among the most common benign soft-tissue tumors and usually present as solitary nodules; however, angiolipomas also may present as multiple subcutaneous nodules, typically on the arms and trunk of young men. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Subcutaneous Mass
The onset of these conditions occurred after the development of the subcutaneous masses by years to decades. The subcutaneous masses were not associated with antecedent medications or systemic infections. [escholarship.org]
The autosomal dominant form of familial angiolipomatosis may be mistaken for peripheral neurofibromatosis (NF-1) due to the similarity of the family history and the occurrence of multiple subcutaneous masses, but histopathological examination of the tumors [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract An 80-year-old man presented with a 50-year history of asymptomatic, subcutaneous masses on the arms, trunk, and legs. His father and maternal grandmother had had similar lesions. [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
There were multiple subcutaneous masses involving the chest wall and arms. Upon incarceration he stated that he had “neurofibromatosis”; there had been no clinical workup to support this diagnosis. [archivesofpathology.org]

Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Adolescent Nephronophthisis is typically guarded. [dovemed.com]
So this means prognosis depends on the medical conditions present or co-morbidities. If there is, the prognosis is shorter. [medhelp.org]
Prognosis MSL is basically a benign condition but in some cases, there may be serious physical, cosmetic and psychological repercussions. Associated disorders may affect the prognosis. [orpha.net]
ERBB2 mutation is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with CDH1 altered invasive lobular cancer of the breast. [apps.medicine.uab.edu]
Etiology
An 8–year‐old sister had similar tumors, suggesting a genetic etiology. The full text of this article hosted at iucr.org is unavailable due to technical difficulties. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Etiology The pathogenesis of MSL is not fully understood, but it may be related to defective noradrenergic regulation of mitochondria in brown fat. The disease is strongly associated with alcohol abuse (up to 90% of patients). [orpha.net]
It could indicate that they do not segregate with FML phenotype, being discarded at least in this family as an etiological cause. [dovepress.com]
