ABSTRACT
Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor of embryonal fat. This condition most often presents during childhood, before the age of 7 years, affects males more than females, and is typified by a slowly growing, usually subcutaneous mass arising in the limbs. Cases involving the head and neck are extremely rare. Our case arose in a 44-month-old male presenting with a rapidly enlarging soft lump in the right supraclavicular area. Diagnosis is by histology, and treatment of choice is complete surgical resection. We report one case of lipoblastoma in the neck with a review of the literature.
