Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face is a rare lesion that comprises a subgroup of lipomatous tumor-like lesions of infancy and childhood. It is characterized by (1) no encapsulation, (2) diffuse infiltration of mature adipose tissue over normal muscle fiber and surrounding structures of face, (3) osseous hyperplasia of subjacent bone, and (4) a high recurrence rate. We report a case of a nine-month-old infant who presented with swelling over right face since birth. Early diagnosis of this lesion provides better surgical approach to control the infiltrative nature of its growth with recurrence and aesthetic appearance.
先天性面部浸润性脂肪瘤病是一种罕见的病变,属于婴幼儿期脂肪瘤样病变的一个亚组。其特征为:(1)无包膜;(2)成熟脂肪组织弥漫浸润正常肌纤维及面部周围结构;(3)下方骨质增生;(4)复发率高。我们报告一例9个月大的婴儿,自出生以来右侧面部肿胀。早期诊断这种病变有助于采取更好的手术方法来控制其浸润性生长、复发及美观问题。
