A giant gluteal lipoblastoma in a 24-month-old girl: A case report

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Kairouan

Abstract

Lipoblastoma is a benign neoplasm of immature fat tissue occurring in infants. The gluteal region location is relatively rare. Imaging, especially MRI, is helpful in diagnosis and preoperative evaluation. An adequate pathological examination could bring huge benefits. Total surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Subtotal resection and "wait and see policy" may be discussed for highly risky intervention.
