Objective: Although lipomatous tumors are the most common type of mesenchymal tumors in adults, they account for less than 10% of all soft tissue lesions in pediatric patients. In this descriptive study, we aim to present our series of pediatric lipomatous tumors consisting of lipoma, neural fibrolipoma, lipoblastoma, atypical lipomatous tumor, myxoid liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma, and to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of these tumors in reference to the literature. Material and Method:In this study, pediatric lipomatous tumor cases diagnosed between 2002 and 2018 were screened from pathological archives and retrospectively evaluated. Results:A total of 50 cases were diagnosed with lipomatous tumor within the mentioned period. Of the total cases, 24 were female (48%) and 26 were male (52%), with age distribution ranging from 1 to 204 months. Histopathological examination revealed lipoma in 26 cases (52%), lipoblastoma in 19 (38%), atypical lipomatous tumor in 2 (4%), myxoid liposarcoma in 2 (4%), and pleomorphic liposarcoma in 1 case (2%). Conclusion:Although lipomatous tumors are the most common type of mesenchymal tumors; they rarely occur in children. Since there is a limited number of studies on pediatric lipomatous tumors in the literature, there is insufficient data on the prevalence and incidence of these tumors. These tumors may slowly enlarge to greater sizes, especially those localized in deep tissues, and may cause various clinical symptoms by compressing surrounding tissues. Local recurrences may occur, even after total excision, and require close monitoring.In this descriptive study, we aim to present our series of pediatric lipomatous tumors including lipoma, neural fibrolipoma, lipoblastoma, atypical lipomatous tumor, myxoid liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma, and evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of these tumors in reference to the literature. MATERIAL and METHODSIn this study, we screened the archives of Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical Pathology for the pediatric lipomatous tumor cases diagnosed between 2002 and 2018. The hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides were reexamined, and histopathological features were documented. The cases were evaluated retrospectively according to age, gender, localization, and clinicopathological features. The study was approved by the local Clinical

“…The definite etiology of lipoma has not yet been clarified, although publications suggest that genetic, endocrine, and traumatic factors play a role. Lipoma may also accompany various syndromes such as Gardner’s syndrome, Madelung’s disease, and Dercum’s disease ( 12 ).…”

“…There have been two cases of congenital lipomas reported in the literature. 7 Given the size of the patient's lipoma at the time of discovery, it is plausible that this was a congenital lipoma. This is only the second case of a lipoma with an associated venous aneurysm in a child that has been described.…”

Internal jugular phlebectasia communicating with a cervicomediastinal lipoma: a case report

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Venous aneurysms are an atypical presentation of neck masses in the paediatric population. The evaluation and surgical removal of internal jugular vein phlebectasia and a lipoma coexisting are described in this report. Internal jugular vein phlebectasia is theorised as a congenital defect and is becoming more common with advancing imaging technologies. Both phlebectasia and lipomas are considered benign conditions, but clinicians must be aware of tumours producing mass effect.
