Current management of lipoblastoma

Abstract: Higher awareness of lipoblastoma enables optimal imaging strategies and resection. Long follow up is required due to local recurrences. The treatment of choice consists of complete, but non mutilating surgical resection. What is Known: • Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor of fatty tissue affecting children • Treatment consists of surgical resection What is New: • MRI is the modality of choice for follow up • Ten-year long-term follow up is required due to late recurrence.
