Abstract
Lipoblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor of embryonal fat that occurs almost
exclusively in infants and children. Although lipoblastomas can affect any part of
the body, only 5 cases affecting the scrotum have previously been reported. We present
a case of an intrascrotal lipoblastoma with a novel karyotype.
