MRI features of lipoblastoma: differentiating from other palpable lipomatous tumor in pediatric patients

Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of lipoblastomas in pediatric patients and to differentiate them from other palpable benign lipomatous tumors. The relatively specific MRI features of nonenhancing cystic change and enhancing soft tissue...

Summary:Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of lipoblastomas in pediatric patients and to differentiate them from other palpable benign lipomatous tumors. The relatively specific MRI features of nonenhancing cystic change and enhancing soft tissue nodules seen in lipoblastoma may help to differentiate it from other types of lipomatous tumor in pediatric patients.
