ABSTRACT

Lipoblastoma, a rare benign adipose tumor is primarily seen under the age of five years. Common sites of this tumor are extremities and trunk. The most common symptom is usually painless, rapidly growing soft mass. The usual recommended treatment of both lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis is complete surgical excision with clean surgical margins without compromising function or damaging adjacent structures. The aim of this paper is to present a case of 13-month old female infant who presented with a mass in the ingui-nal region and was diagnosed as lipoblastoma following surgical excision of the mass.
