Abstract
Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face is a rare and benign condition involving a hamartomatous proliferation of mature adipose cells. The final diagnosis derives from a combination of clinical data, histology, and imaging features and affects the treatment decision. This report describes the clinical case of a young patient suffering from facial lipomatosis with particular emphasis on radiological findings detected at CT-scan and magnetic resonance imaging.
