To report the unusual occurrence of a perineal lipoblastoma presenting as a painless enlarging mass in an infant.
A 7-month-old boy presented with a 6-month history of an asymptomatic progressively enlarging perineal mass. Imaging studies were unable to provide a diagnosis. Complete resection of the mass was achieved and there was no recurrence at 18-month follow-up. Histopathologic findings were consistent with a maturing perineal lipoblastoma.
This case report serves as a reminder to physicians and especially pediatric surgeons to consider perineal lipoblastoma in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue perineal masses in infancy.
报告一例罕见的会阴脂肪母细胞瘤病例，该病例表现为婴儿期无痛性增大的肿块。
一名7个月大的男孩，有一个6个月无症状且逐渐增大的会阴肿块病史。影像学检查无法明确诊断。肿块得以完整切除，18个月随访时无复发。组织病理学检查结果符合成熟型会阴脂肪母细胞瘤。
本病例报告提醒医生，尤其是小儿外科医生，在婴儿期会阴软组织肿块的鉴别诊断中应考虑会阴脂肪母细胞瘤。
