Abstract

Lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis are rare benign mesenchymal tumors of embryonal white fat, which normally affect children under 3 years. We report an 11-month-old boy who was presented with a painless lump in the suprapubic region, which was diagnosed on ultrasound as herniated omental fat or lipoma.
