A four-year old Sudanese child presented with a growing mass in the medial aspect of the right thigh. The mass appeared during the neonatal period. On clinical examination a diagnosis of lipoblastoma was entertained on the basis of the patient's age and the clinical features of the mass. The tumor was completely excised surgically. The clinical diagnosis of lipoblastoma was confirmed pathologically. Follow-up of the patient for 6 months postoperatively showed no evidence of recurrence.
