Abdominal lipoblastomatosis: radiographic, echographic, and computed tomographic findings.

Abstract

Two cases of lipoblastomatosis in infants are described. Radiography, ultrasonography, and computerized tomography showed well-defined soft-tissue densities embedded within large masses of adipose tissue. This appearance, which may be specific for lipoblastomatosis, correlated precisely with the pathologic appearance of lobules of immature adipose tissue surrounding masses of myxoid tissue.
