Abstract
Mediastinal lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor originating from embryonic lipid cells and it almost always occurs during infanthood or early childhood. It is a tumor with a good prognosis despite its potential for local invasion and rapid growth. We report here on a three years old girl who was treated for a benign lipoblastoma in the anterior mediastinum. CT scanning showed a fat containing mass without internal calcification or fluid component, and the mass showed a compressive effect on the adjacent structures. The mass was located between the pericardium and right mediastinal pleura and it was removed completely without complication. Pathologic examination revealed a benign lipoblastoma. The patient showed no evidence of recurrence at the time of the report.
