When imaging tells the whole story: A pediatric omental mass from scan to surgery - A case report

Lipoblastoma is a rare neoplasm of embryonal fat cells that usually occurs within the first 3 years of life. It is a benign lesion; however, it can be locally aggressive and can present with post-surgical recurrence. It presents as a painless, progressive swelling with symptoms secondary to mass effect. It is most commonly seen in the trunk, extremities, and the head-and-neck region. We present the case of a 1-year-old boy with an unusual location of lipoblastoma in the greater omentum, which was initially diagnosed on imaging and then confirmed surgically.

Abstract

Lipoblastoma is a rare neoplasm of embryonal fat cells that usually occurs within the first 3 years of life. It is a benign lesion; however, it can be locally aggressive and can present with post-surgical recurrence. It presents as a painless, progressive swelling with symptoms secondary to mass effect. It is most commonly seen in the trunk, extremities, and the head-and-neck region. We present the case of a 1-year-old boy with an unusual location of lipoblastoma in the greater omentum, which was initially diagnosed on imaging and then confirmed surgically.
