| Tumors meeting the classic histopathologic criteria for WDLs that arise in the oral cavity, salivary glands, and other superficial, surgically accessible areas are called atypical lipomatous tumors (ALTs). Findings on fine-needle aspiration biopsy were consistent with a lipoma, but contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the neck identified a heterogenous 4 x 5-cm enhancing mass deep to an overlying lipomatous component that measured approximately 10 x 6 cm in the right lower jugular chain (figure 1). These modalities reveal not only the extent of the tumor, but its lipomatous nature, as well. |
