Background:

Lipoblastoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from fetal adipose tissue.
It primarily affects infants and young children, with limited documented cases in English literature.

Observation:

This report details an unusual case of omental lipoblastoma.
The patient was a 7-month-old female infant presenting with this rare condition.

Findings:

The case highlights the occurrence of lipoblastoma in the omentum, a less common site.
This finding adds to the collective understanding of lipoblastoma's diverse presentations.

Implications:

Increased awareness of omental lipoblastoma can aid in earlier diagnosis and appropriate management.

Further case reports are crucial for understanding the full spectrum of this rare pediatric neoplasm.
