Bone and soft tissue tumours of the feet are uncommon. Lipoblastoma is arare benign soft tissue neoplasm, exclusive to the pediatric population. Occurrs more frequently in children with a predilection for males. Its preferred location is at the extremities, but rarely affects the foot. We present a case of lipoblastoma in the foot of a 13-month-old boy and we conducted a review of the literature.
