Giant omental lipoblastoma in a 10-month-old infant composing 20% of total body weight

Roberto Méndez-Gallart et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

Lipoblastoma of the greater omentum is an extremely rare benign tumor with less than 10 cases reported in the available literature. We report an unusual case of a 10-month-old girl with a giant omental lipoblastoma that composed 20% of her total body weight (1480 g, 17 x 12 x 16 cm). Complete excision of the tumor was performed. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of omental lipoblastoma.
