Perineal lipoblastoma: a case report and review of literature.

We describe a case of 3-year-old girl with a lipoblastoma arising from perineum. An approximately 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm × 2.5 cm nodule was resected in left perineum with satisfied results. Pathological examination showed that it was composed of small lobules of mature and immature fat cells, separated by fibrous septa containing small dilated blood vessels. The left perineal lipoblastoma, although rare, should be differentiated from some other mesenchymal tumors with similar histologic and cytological features.
