Abstract
Lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis are rare tumors of infancy. They originate from
embryonic fat and localize in soft tissues. We present the case of a lipoblastoma
of the neck with localization in tracheal and esophageal walls that required an extended
laryngotracheal and esophageal resection. To our knowledge, this is the first report
of such localization of this tumor.
