Abstract
The authors describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characterist ics of lipoblastoma of the shoulder in an infant. The appearance of th e lesion in MRI scans correlated well with the pathological observatio n of lobules of immature adipose tissue surrounding masses of myxoid t issue. However, the MRI study of lipoblastoma is non-specific, and the results of other radiologic modalities, such as plain radiography, ul trasonography and computed tomography, are essential for a confident d iagnosis.
