The article describes diagnostics and surgical treatment of a rare benign tumor (lipoblastoma) of four anatomical areas of the head and neck in an 8-months child. Diagnostic data, surgical procedure performed using microsurgical techniques and intraoperative neuromonitoring and the patient's condition in the long-term postoperative period are presented. The histological conclusion about the removal of the tumor with negative resection margins suggests favorable prognosis of the disease.

Lipoblastoma-like tumor (LLT) is a rare adipocytic neoplasm with a predilection for the vulva. Since 2002, <30 cases have been reported, characterizing it as an indolent tumor that may sometimes recur locally. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and morphologic overlap with other adipocytic tumors.

Lipoblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue neoplasm rising from embryonic white adipose tissue known as lipoblast that keeps proliferating during the postnatal period. Although lipoblastomas are benign, they often grow rapidly. Most lipoblastomas are asymptomatic at presentation; they can present as a growing painless palpable mass and progressive symptoms of various organ compression depending on localization.

Lipoblastomas are benign neoplasms of embryonal white fat that typically present in the first 3 years of life and show a lobular arrangement of maturing adipocytes with variable degrees of myxoid change. We systematically studied the clinicopathologic and genetic features of lipoblastomas arising in older children and adults. Cases with a diagnosis of lipoblastoma or maturing lipoblastoma in patients >3 years of age were retrieved from our archives.
