Pediatric infiltrating lipomas: case report and review of the literature.
A case of pediatric infiltrating lipoma and a collected literature review of four pediatric patients with well-documented infiltrating lipomas are presented. These lesions tend to recur after resection but there are no reported incidences of distant metastases or degeneration into frankly malignant lesions. Treatment consists of excising the lesion with a margin of normal muscle.
