  • Title: Lipoblastoma in head and neck--a rare childhood tumour.
    Author: Sinha BK, Thapa N, Banskota DK.
    Journal: Kathmandu Univ Med J (KUMJ); 2006; 4(1):94-7. PubMed ID: 18603878.
    Abstract:
    Lipoblastoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumour that occurs primarily in children younger than 3 yrs of age. Despite the lesions being benign, great difficulty can be encountered in its management because of its tendency to invade the different fascial planes. A rare case of huge lipoblastoma diagnosed in a 22 months old child, involving various spaces of face and skull base has been reported. This huge tumour was completely and successfully removed through cheek incision without any postoperative complications.
