ABSTRACT
Lipoblastoma is a variant of lipoma and lipomatosis occuring almost exclusively during the years of infancy and early childhood. These lesions differ from lipoma and lipomatosis by their cellular immaturity and their close resemblance to the myxoid form of liposarcoma. We experienced one case of lipoblastoma in 21 months old boy who suffered from respiratory tract symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and mild fever. At first he was misdiagnosed pneumonia and treated with antibiotics and conservative management for pneumonia. Later he was rediagnosed as tumor in the left upper lung. For removal of tumor he had operative excision and the biopsies were showed compatible to lipoblastoma. A brief review of related literatures is also presented.
