title: Lipofibromatosis presenting as a neck mass in eight-years old boy--a case report.
abstract: Lipofibromatosis is a very rare pediatric neoplasm with a histologically distinctive fibrofatty pattern. Some of the authors believe that this term should encompass several rare soft tissue tumors of childhood and that tumors of childhood which contain fat as an integral component warrant new classification. We present a case report of a neck tumor in eight-years old boy which shares clinical and morphological features similar to those originally described by Fetch et al. with peaceable with literature results of immunohistochemical stains.
