“…In all of the previously reported cases of lipoblastoma, operative surgery and complete tumor excision has been performed with a clear plane of dissection from surrounding tissues. 3 , 4 , 8 This was also true in our case, in which the tumor was easily detached from surrounding pericardium and pleura. The reported tumor size has been between 2 to 21 cm, 12 so our case was considered huge with a greatest diameter of 20 cm which has caused compression symptoms on heart and lung.…”

“… 2 Less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature since its first description in 1926; and it is exceptionally rare in the thoracic cavity. 3 Herein we report a 15-month-old infant with intrathoracic and mediastinal mass which turned out to be a lipoblastoma after surgery and pathologic examination.…”

Lipoblastoma is a rare tumor of infancy. It originates from the white fetal fat in soft tissue. The most common location of this rare tumor is extremity and to best of our knowledge less than 10 cases of intrathoracic and mediastinal lipoblastoma has been reported in the English literature. Herein we present our experience with a 15-month-old boy infant who presented with severe dyspnea. Imaging studies showed a mass in the thoracic cavity and mediastinum which was diagnosed as lipoblastoma after pathologic examination of the resected mass. Lipoblastoma has been considered as a tumor of soft tissue, but it should also be considered as a rare cause of intrathoracic masses of young children.

“…Most authors recommend complete excision in a conservative fashion, with preservation of the vital structures. 1,2,4,6,7,10,13,14 Overall, the prognosis for cervical lipoblastoma is very good after complete excision. At our patient's 5-month postoperative visit, no recurrence or complications were noted.…”

Lipoblastoma is extremely rare and mainly occurs in children younger than 3 years old. It is predominantly found in the extremities and trunk. Head and neck region occurrences are rare; only 4 such cases involving patients who presented with stridor have been previously reported. We report the fifth case of lipoblastoma of the neck with stridor in a 9-year-old girl, which had gradually worsened over the previous year. Imaging showed a retrotracheal mass extending superiorly to the thyroid level and inferiorly to below the carina of the trachea. Total resection of the tumor was performed, and the histopathologic findings were consistent with lipoblastoma. Postoperatively, the patient was well with no complications.

“…Despite the lesions being benign, great difficulty can be encountered in its management because of its tendency to invade the different fascial planes [ 9 ]. Lipoblastoma is a tumour with good prognosis despite its potential for local invasion and rapid growth but they do not metastasize [ 10 ]. Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, fine needle aspiration, and cytogenetics are important diagnostic tools for this rare tumour [ 11 ].…”
