Abstract

This report presents a girl with a lipoblastoma of a finger presenting as a macrodactyly. Documented inflammation of the digit at birth raises suspicion of neo-adipogenesis, which is recognised in lipomas. This case highlights a rare site for lipoblastomas and explores a potential aetiopathogenesis.
