title: Lipoblastomatosis: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an unusual presentation of lipoblastomatosis and review the existing literature on lipoblastomatosis and lipoblastoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report and literature review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 9-year-old girl was originally diagnosed as having preseptal cellulitis. After failure of systemic therapy, a CT scan showed a mass in the orbit. Biopsy of the lesion confirmed the presence of lipoblastomatosis, consisting of immature lipoblasts admixed with more-mature adipocytes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Lipoblastomatosis is a rare benign diffuse lipomatous tumor of embryonal fat that is uncommonly found in the head and face of children.
