Intrathoracic extension of a chest wall Lipoblastoma in an infant: A rare case report

Abstract

We report the case of a 9-month-old female infant who presented with a history of enlarging chest wall mass secondary to a lipoblastoma with intrathoracic extension. The baby was successfully treated with a surgical resection. Chest wall lipoblastomas with intrathoracic extension are quite uncommon, with few reports available to date.
