Abstract

<p>The patient was a 3-year-old boy, who was referred to our department because of spindle-shaped subcutaneous masses on the lateral side of the bilateral inguinal region and on the right back. Similar subcutaneous masses were detected in the left axilla and right hypochondrium during follow-up. The tumor on the back was extirpated and was histopathologically diagnosed as lipoblastoma. Therefore, all four remaining subcutaneous tumors were extirpated and histopathologically diagnosed as lipoblastoma, which occurred simultaneously and metachronously. There was no recurrence after follow-up of 1.5 years. Early extirpation is commonly carried out for lipoblastoma, but patients should be carefully followed up because of the possibility of simultaneous and metachronous occurrence such as in this patient.</p>
