[Intrapancreatic lipoma: a case report].

A rare case of asymptomatic pancreatic lipoma in an eleven-month-old child is presented. The abdominal mass was discovered occasionally during a grip episode. Preoperative tests proved the presence of a neoformation arising from the pancreas. It was multilobed, capsulated and located between colon transversus, spleen and stomach without infiltration of surrounding structures. The histological picture was that of a mature lipoma. The authors discuss the differential diagnosis versus other fat tumors.
