Abstract:
Lipoblastoma (LB) is a rare benign mesenchymal soft tissue neoplasm that most frequently occurs in childhood. In this case, we describe a 33-year-old female with intermittent abdominal pain due to the presence of a slowly growing abdominal tumor. We will explain the ideal diagnostic protocol and compare it with the diagnostic approach performed at a second level of care with limited resources. A simple abdominal tomography confirmed the presence of the retroperitoneal tumor, which led to the planning of surgical management for these tumor cases. A "complete resection" is considered the ideal approach, along with the follow-up to rule out any complications.
