Adenolipomatosis
Definition
A condition characterized by the benign, simultaneous, and excessive proliferation of adipose tissue within or around lymph nodes and glandular structures, leading to a diffuse enlargement of their volume. This histopathological structural phenomenon disrupts the normal architecture of regional soft tissue, generating palpable nodular formations that are often asymptomatic but can pose differential diagnosis challenges with simple lipomas or malignant lymphadenopathies.
