Abstract
Lipoblastomas are rare benign soft tissue tumors that occur primarily in young children.
Most lipoblastomas occur in the extremities, trunk, head, and neck. An intrascrotal
location is unusual. We describe a case of a 4-month-old infant with an intrascrotal
lipoblastoma and discuss the differential diagnosis and review the literature.
