Abstract
Lipoblastoma-lipoblastomatosis represents a rare, benign tumorous prol iferation of adipocytes and their mesenchymal precursor cells. Seen al most exclusively in early childhood, it should be considered in the di fferential diagnosis of any rapidly expanding soft-tissue mass. We pre sent a case of lipoblastomatosis and its magnetic resonance appearance , which has not been previously described.
