Lipoma is a common benign mesenchymal tumour. However, angiomyxolipoma (AML) is one of its rarer variants. It was first described by Mai et al in 1996 in the lipomatous lesions having mature adipocytes in a myxoid background with rich vascular network. We present the case of a 21 year-old man with recurrent forehead swelling diagnosed as AML on microscopy. It is important to document this rare variant to add to the limited literature and to aid in differentiating it from its malignant counterpart. Moreover, as our case presented with recurrence within a short period of time, a precise diagnosis and documentation of recurrence is essential as it is reportedly the first case with recurrence among the 21 cases of AMLs previously published.
