Abstract

Lipomas are mesenchymal neoplasms that affect the head and neck region in about 13% of cases. However, they are rarely reported in the pediatric population. We here report the case of a 6-month-old infant with no notable medical history, admitted for the management of a large left lateral cervical mass that had been progressing for 4 months. Ear, nose and throat (ENT) examination revealed a large left lateral cervical mass extending to the submental area, approximately 7cm in length, with no signs of compression. Cervical CT scan showed a fat-density mass, consistent with a lipoma. The patient underwent exploratory cervicotomy with excision of the mass. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. The clinical outcome was favorable, with no recurrence after 15 months of follow-up. Although rare in the pediatric population, cervical lipomas should be considered in infants with a cervical swelling. Its clinical manifestation is similar to that of a cystic lymphangioma.

[6月龄婴儿巨大颈侧脂肪瘤1例]。
脂肪瘤是影响头颈部的间充质肿瘤,约占13%。然而,在儿科人群中很少有报道。我们在此报告一个6个月大的婴儿,没有明显的病史,入院治疗一个大的左侧颈椎肿块,已经进展了4个月。耳鼻喉检查发现左侧颈侧肿物,延伸至颏下区,长约7cm,无压迫迹象。宫颈CT显示脂肪密度肿块,符合脂肪瘤。患者行探查性宫颈切开术并切除肿块。组织学分析证实脂肪瘤的诊断。临床结果良好,随访15个月后无复发。虽然在儿童人群中罕见,宫颈脂肪瘤应考虑在婴儿宫颈肿胀。其临床表现与囊性淋巴管瘤相似。
