Objective: To report the unusual occurrence of a perineal lipoblastoma presenting as a painless enlarging mass in an infant.

Complete resection of the mass was achieved and there was no recurrence at 18-month follow-up. Histopathologic findings were consistent with a maturing perineal lipoblastoma.
