Descripción
Sumario:Lipoblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor found in infants and young children. It presents as an enlarging mass commonly observed in extremities, trunk, head and neck regions. Imaging features include a hyper-echoic mass on ultrasound, heterogonous fat density lesion on CT scan with enhancing septations and no calcification, and high T1 signal mass that drops the signal intensity on fat suppression MRI images. Total excision of such lesion is the treatment of choice, and follow-up is recommended to rule out recurrence.
