Lipoblastoma is a benign tumor of embryonic fat cells occurring in infancy and childhood. The tumor usually presents as a slow growing non tender superficial mass in the extremities. This case report describes the CT and MR findings in an exceedingly rare case of a cervical lipoblastoma with a long segment epidural extension. Surgical and pathological findings correlate well with the imaging features.

Lipoblastomas are otherwise asymptomatic, with the exception of one reported neck lipoblastoma causing respiratory insufficiency 6 …”
