Lipoblastoma is extremely rare and mainly occurs in children younger than 3 years old. It is predominantly found in the extremities and trunk. Head and neck region occurrences are rare; only 4 such cases involving patients who presented with stridor have been previously reported. We report the fifth case of lipoblastoma of the neck with stridor in a 9-year-old girl, which had gradually worsened over the previous year. Imaging showed a retrotracheal mass extending superiorly to the thyroid level and inferiorly to below the carina of the trachea. Total resection of the tumor was performed, and the histopathologic findings were consistent with lipoblastoma. Postoperatively, the patient was well with no complications.
脂肪母细胞瘤极为罕见，主要发生于3岁以下儿童。它主要见于四肢和躯干。头颈部发病罕见；此前仅报道过4例此类伴有喘鸣症状的患者。我们报告了第5例9岁女童颈部脂肪母细胞瘤伴喘鸣，该症状在过去一年中逐渐加重。影像学检查显示气管后肿物，上至甲状腺水平，下至气管隆突以下。对肿瘤进行了完整切除，组织病理学检查结果与脂肪母细胞瘤相符。术后患者情况良好，无并发症。
