ABSTRACT
Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor that usually originates in children from the embryonic lipid cells of the extremities. This condition shows an early childhood occurrence, a benign nature without metastasis, a cellular composition of mainly mature lipid cells and an ability to differentiate into a simple lipoma. We have experienced a 15 month old girl who had developed a lipoblastoma in the right anterior mediastinum. Surgical resection was carried out without complications. Her postoperative course was uneventful. She has been well 6 months after the operation.
