Introduction: The term lipoblastoma was introduced by Jaffe in 1926. It is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm of uncommon embryonic adipose tissue, made up of adipocytes in different stages of maturation, 90% of cases occurring in patients younger than 3 years. Case report: The case of a 2-year-old patient with a tumor in the upper third of the right thigh is described, with poor adherence to medical surveillance, performing definitive treatment at 6 years of age with a histopathological diagnosis of lipoblastoma. Discussion: Lipoblastoma occurs most frequently in extremities and trunk, progressive growth; magnetic resonance is the most sensitive radiological study to make diagnosis, and treatment is surgical. Conclusion: Lipoblastoma is a benign neoplasm of soft, mesenchymal parts, which occurs predominantly in childhood; there is a risk of recurrence in both the localized and the diffuse form, consequently surveillance is desirable for 5 years after resection. Our patient is without recurrence and with good quality of life.
ResumenIntroducción: La intususcepción es poco frecuente en adultos y se caracteriza por dolor abdominal intermitente. Caso clínico: Mujer de 50 años de edad con diagnóstico de cáncer de recto a la que se le realizó una resección anterior ultrabaja y anastomosis colorrectal con ileostomía tipo Brooke. En el postoperatorio mediato presentó dolor abdominal inespecífico, con ileostomía funcional sin alteraciones; posteriormente a tratamiento adyuvante, se realizó restitución de tránsito intestinal, encontrando una intususcepción en muñón ileal. Discusión y revisión de la literatura: La intususcepción del muñón ileal es un evento sumamente raro sin reportes de eventos similares en la literatura. Palabras clave: Intususcepción. Ileostomía. Dolor abdominal. Cáncer de recto. Intususception of ileal stump , case report and literature review abstractIntroduction: Intussusception is rare in adults, and is characterized by intermittent abdominal pain. Case report: A 50-year-old female with a diagnosis of rectal cancer who underwent an ultra-low anterior resection and colo-rectum anastomosis with Brooke-type ileostomy. In the postoperative period, she presented nonspecific abdominal pain, with functional ileostomy without alterations; after adjuvant treatment, restitution of intestinal transit was performed, finding an intussusception in the ileal stump. Discussion and review of the literature: Intussusception of the ileal stump is a very rare event with no reports of similar events in the literature.
