Abstract
According to the data of literature intermuscular lipomas are observed in children, but rarely. The diagnosis of intermuscular lipomas presents certain difficulties since these tumors are frequently taken for sarcomas. Biopsy seems to be an important diagnostic method. From 1967 to 1972 the authors observed intermuscular lipomas in 3 children. One case report of a large intermuscular lipoma of the femur in a 2 year-old child is described. Surgery is considered to be the principal method of treatment for intermuscular lipomas. Recurrent intermuscular lipomas should be regarded as a warning against liposarcoma.
