Lipoblastomatosis of the retropharyngeal space: pathogenesis, presentation, and management, with a focus on head-neck lipoblastoma(toses).

CONCLUSION: This is the first report of lipoblastomatosis with the retropharyngeal space as the epicenter of involvement/ origin. Although rare and seldom diagnosed before surgery, lipoblastoma(tosis) may be more common in the head-neck area than thought previously and should be an important differential diagnosis for pediatric fibrolipomatous neoplasms in this anatomic subsite.
