Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lipoblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that occurs primarily in infancy and childhood. There are two types of lipoblastoma: focal or diffuse (lipoblastomatosis). This is typically located in the extremities, and less frequently in the trunk, head and neck, and the retroperitoneum. Lipoblastoma is a tumor with a good prognosis with no reported metastasis, despite of its potential for local invasion, local recurrence and rapid growth. Complete surgical resection is essential for treatment, and long term follow up is needed.
