Mesenteric Lipoblastoma and Cervical Lipoblastomatosis : Ultrasound, Elastosonography, and Computed Tomography Findings in Two Children

Abstract EN

Lipoblastomas are benign tumors of the embryonic lipoid cells mainly occurring in infancy and early childhood.

They are clinicopathologically distinguished in two forms: the well-circumscribed and localized type and the diffuse, irregularly confined type with infiltrative growth pattern, also called lipoblastomatosis.

We report two pediatric cases of a mesentery localized and cervical diffuse lipoblastomas investigated both with ultrasound and computed tomography examinations.
