Myxoma may also develop in the other heart chambers. [1] The tumor is derived from multipotent mesenchymal cells. [1]
[4] [5] Today Diffuse lipoblastoma is the preferred term for lipoblastomatosis. [6] [7] The tumor is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all childhood neoplasm, [8] and it has been found to be more common in males than females.

Hospital cases at new high as health chiefs raise fears that those with symptoms are failing to seek help
These studies support prior epidemiologic data in humans showing a correlation between HMG I-C and mesenchymal tumors. [17] Cases have been reported where minor injuries are alleged to have triggered the growth of a lipoma, called a "post-traumatic lipoma". [18] However, the link between trauma and the development of lipomas is controversial. [19]
Mediastinal lipomatosis. Lipomatosis is believed to be an autosomal dominant condition in which multiple lipomas are present on the body. Many discrete, encapsulated lipomas form on the trunk and extremities, with relatively few on the head and shoulders. [1]
