Abstract Lipoblastoma is an uncommon benign lipomatous soft tissue mass of childhood, occurring most commonly in children less than 3 years of age. We present a case of lipoblastoma occurring in the foot of a 14-year-old boy and review the literature. The appearance of the mass on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is illustrated and is correlated with the findings at gross and microscopic pathological examination. A lobulated architecture, the presence of adipose tissue, thin nonenhancing septa, peripheral lobules of more immature and therefore less specific tissue, and a peripheral pseudocapsule were evident on MRI and at pathological examination.
