Abstract EN
Myolipoma is a rare, benign, lipomatous tumour which most commonly occurs in the retroperitoneum, pelvis, and abdomen.
A 4-year-old boy presented with a painless enlarging mass in the left paraspinal region.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a soft tissue lesion with high fat content and areas of calcification.
Excision and histopathological analysis revealed a tumour composed of lobules of mature adipose tissue and broad septa of well-differentiated smooth muscle tissue.
The smooth muscle nature of the nonfatty component was demonstrated by a diffuse and strong immunoreactivity for smooth muscle actin and desmin.
The mass was reported as a myolipoma.
The patient made an unremarkable recovery from surgery and remains healthy with no signs of recurrence at seven years.
This paper represents the youngest patient diagnosed with this rare soft tissue tumour which is normally confined to the adult population.
A newly reported site of the tumour is also highlighted.
