Lipomatous tumours of the limbs in children are rare, and lipoblastoma is the most common soft tissue tumour. Most of them have typical imaging features, but their clinical presentation and their management may vary, depending on the exact histological subtype. The aim of our study is to illustrate the main clinical, radiological and histological features of the different benign lipomatous tumours in children.


METHODS
Review of the literature.


RESULTS
It is about a descriptive study of paediatric cases of benign lipomatous tumours of limb in children.
