Lipofibromatosis is a slow-growing, childhood soft-tissue neoplasm that is often confused with other conditions. We report a patient with lipofibromatosis causing extremity enlargement at birth. The lesion initially was thought to be a vascular anomaly or lipedema on clinical and MRI examination. When involving the lower extremity, diffuse lipofibromatosis must be differentiated from more common causes of lower limb enlargement in children: lymphatic malformation, lymphedema, or lipedema. Compared with these more frequent conditions, lipofibromatosis usually causes less morbidity. Management of the tumor includes observation or excision. Because complete extirpation of the lesion is difficult, the recurrence rate is high.
脂肪纤维瘤病是一种生长缓慢的儿童软组织肿瘤,常与其他病症混淆。我们报告了一名出生时患有脂肪纤维瘤病导致肢体增大的患者。在临床和MRI检查中,该病变最初被认为是血管异常或脂性水肿。当累及下肢时,弥漫性脂肪纤维瘤病必须与儿童下肢增大的更常见原因相鉴别:淋巴管畸形、淋巴水肿或脂性水肿。与这些更常见的病症相比,脂肪纤维瘤病通常引起的发病率较低。肿瘤的治疗方法包括观察或切除。由于病变难以完全切除,复发率很高。
