OBJECTIVE: To describe a rare case of lipofibromatosis presenting as a head and neck mass in a 6-year-old child. METHOD: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary Public General Hospital Patient: One RESULT: A six-year-old male child admitted with a large right head and neck region mass underwent complete excision of a possible soft tissue neoplasm following investigations which included Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, Ultrasonography and Computed Tomography. Histopathological examination yielded lipofibromatosis, a very rare lesion with a distinctive fibrofatty pattern. The patient was well with no recurrence after three months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Although lipofibromatosis is a rare lesion in children and has a predilection for distal extremities, it may also present as a mass in the head and neck area. Complete surgical excision is feasible and is the only treatment option available for this rare lesion Subject Added Entry - Topical Term ULTRASONOGRAPHY   TOMOGRAPHY SCANNERS, X-RAY COMPUTED   BIOPSY, FINE-NEEDLE   HEAD   NECK DIAGNOSIS   DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES   CLINICAL LABORATORY TECHNIQUES   CYTOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES   CYTODIAGNOSIS   BIOPSY   BIOPSY, NEEDLE   FOLLOW-UP STUDIES   SIX YEAR OLD   6 YEAR OLD   PAEDIATRIC   LIPOFIBROMATOSIS   HEAD MASS   NECK MASS   ASPIRATION BIOPSY, FINE-NEEDLE   FINE NEEDLE BIOPSY   FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION   ULTRASONOGRAPHY   TOMOGRAPHY SCANNERS, X-RAY COMPUTED   BIOPSY, FINE-NEEDLE   HEAD   NECK DIAGNOSIS   DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES   CLINICAL LABORATORY TECHNIQUES   CYTOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES   CYTODIAGNOSIS   BIOPSY   BIOPSY, NEEDLE   FOLLOW-UP STUDIES           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
