Case report: Atypical lipomatous tumor of the thigh in a four-year-old girl.

Atypical lipomatous tumors (ALTs) are locally aggressive adipocytic malignancies that frequently occur in middle-aged adults. We report the rare case of an ALT of the thigh that occurred in a 4-year-old girl. Since the tumor was initially diagnosed as a lipoblastoma by incisional biopsy, marginal resection was performed. Histopathological findings of the surgical specimen revealed the proliferation of mature and variously sized adipocytes, as well as ectopic ossification; these features differ from the typical findings of lipoblastoma. Immunohistochemical findings showed nuclear positivity for a murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and negativity for pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1). Fluorescence
