title: [Angiolipoma of the cecum].
abstract: The paper reports a case of angiolipoma localised on the ileocecal valve. No cases of intestinal angiolipoma have been reported in the literature. The authors analyse the anatomopathological diagnostic criteria used, together with the clinical characteristics of a pathology which, even when examined macroscopically, resembles a malignant neoplasia of the colon. The authors conclude by underlining the importance of histological diagnosis for a correct surgical choice.
