ABSTRACT
Lipoblastoma are rare benign tumors arising from the fetal-embryonal fat that occur almost exclusively in children. About 70% of them arise in the limbs but several other sites have been reported. We have treated a 3-year-old boy who had a benign lipoblastoma in left posterior mediastinum and left supraclavicular area. CT scanning demonstrated a mass of principally fat attenuation which had a compressive effect on normal intrathoracic structures. The tumor was resected completely without complication from the left posterior mediastinum and left supraclavicular area. The tumor mass was yellowish in color and it was histopathologically confirmed to be a lipoblastoma.
