Childhood lipoblastoma

Abstract

Lipoblastoma (LB) is a rare soft tissue tumor affecting infants and young children. Although commonly seen over the trunk or extremities, those occurring over the axilla or over the gluteal region are uncommon.We report 2 such patients: 1: A 6-months-old boy with a tumor over the right axilla and. 2: A 10-years-old girl with a tumor over the left gluteal region, both treated surgically and confirmed histologically as LB.
