Abstract:
We studied a single case of lipoblastoma in a 4-year-old boy. Cytogenetic analysis of the tumor cells showed two abnormal clones: 47,XY,t(3;8)(q12;q11.2),+mar, and 46,XY,t(3;8)(q12;q11.2). To our knowledge, this is the second report of chromosome findings in this rare tumor. Although lipoblastomas are frequently confused with myxoid liposarcomas, breakpoints in our patient were different from those of myxoid liposarcoma.
