J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1999 Nov-Dec;23(6):952-4. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199911000-00023.

Abstract

A 7-month-old infant boy with pleural lipoblastoma is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by operation. Radiologic findings consisted of a pleura-based mass with well-defined margin. The main differentiation is from liposarcoma, which is extremely rare in children under 3 years of age.
