Lipoblastomatosis is a rare benign childhood fatty tumor. This case highlights a recurrent lipoblastomatosis in an infant, with histological analysis revealing immature adipose tissue and lipoblasts.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Soft Tissue Tumors

Background:

  • Lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis are rare, benign, adipocytic soft tissue tumors exclusively occurring in children.
  • These tumors are typically located in the trunk, extremities, or head and neck regions.

Observation:

  • A 5-month-old male infant presented with a recurrent lump in the left scapular region, previously operated on two months prior.
  • Histological examination of both excisions revealed an adipocytic tumor consistent with lipoblastomatosis.

Findings:

  • Microscopic analysis showed lobules of immature adipose tissue separated by fibrous septa, with numerous lipoblasts at various differentiation stages and myxoid material.
  • The second excision specimen demonstrated a higher proportion of mature adipose tissue compared to the initial tumor.

Implications:

  • Recurrence of lipoblastomatosis is possible, necessitating thorough histological evaluation of subsequent resections.
  • Understanding the histological spectrum, including varying degrees of adipocyte maturation, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of pediatric lipoblastomatosis.
