Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumour of infancy originating from white foetal adipose tissue. Most commonly located in the extremities, intrathoracic and mediastinal involvement of this tumour is rare, and an intracardiac location is even rarer, with only one reported case. Herein, we present a 2-month old asymptomatic boy diagnosed with an echogenic mass in the left ventricular outflow tract. The patient underwent surgical excision and histopathological evaluation revealed a lipoblastoma.
