Thoracic wall lipoblastoma in an infant

Abstract

We report a rare case of thoracic wall lipoblastoma in an 11-month-old male who presented with the history of a right scapular swelling that grew rapidly over one month. The diagnosis of lipoblastoma was made on a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan, which was later confirmed by histopathologic examination. The lesion was excised completely. There were no signs of recurrence at one year follow up.
