| Popis: |
Lipoblastoma is a benign soft tissue tumor that originates from embryonic white fat. Lipoblastoma presents as a slow-growing mass that commonly occurs in the extremities of young children. Histological examination remains the gold standard in confirming lipoblastoma; however, radiology examination can help identify and evaluate the extent and characterization of the mass prior to the excision. Here, we report a 7-year-old male patient who presented with a painless mass in the right popliteal extending to the proximal cruris areas, and the imaging modalities suggested the presence of fat within the mass. The patient then underwent complete excision, and histopathology examination revealed lipoblastoma. This study highlights the possibility of lipoblastoma in older children and the role of imaging examinations in the diagnosis. |
