A one-year-old boy presented with progressive distension of the abdomen occurring over a few months. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a large, well-defined retroperitoneal mass with heterogeneous attenuation appearance and areas of low density showing as fatty substance. Slight enhancement of the soft tissue components was also noted. Reviewing of the literature indicates an accurate preoperative diagnosis of such fatty tumor is allowed by analysis of patient's age, tumor location, and characteristic CT pictures.
