Abstract/Notes OBJECTIVE: Lipoblastomatosis is a rare disorder in infants and children and nonexistent in adults. We discuss a case of a newborn child with lipoblastomatosis extensively involving the pelvis and lower extremities. The clinical and radiological characteristics of the disorder are discussed.

CLINICAL FEATURES: A 2-month-old male had an enlarging deformity of the pelvis and lower extremities with progression of the condition from birth. There was no family history related to the disease. No other clinical abnormalities were present.

INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: Lipoblastomatosis is initially treated with surgical excision of the lipomatous neoplastic tissue. The postsurgical outcome is satisfactory; however, the likelihood of recurrence has been reported.

CONCLUSION: We present the features of lipoblastomatosis, an uncommon disorder affecting infants and children. The clinical and radiologic manifestations of the disease are assessed with emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging.
