AB Infiltrating  lipoma  is  a  rare  variety  of  lipoma,  characterized  by  an  infiltration  of  the  adipose  tissue  of  the  muscles.  Infiltrating  lipomas are usually classified in two groups: intermuscular   infiltrating   lipoma   and   intramuscular   infiltrating   lipoma.   Most   are   acquired,  and  they  usually  appear  in  middle-aged  individuals.  Exceptionally,  they  are  congenital. In such cases they are not related to other diseases. We report an 8-year-old boy with a congenital infiltrating lipoma of the upper limb and von Willebrand disease. Both diseases are linked to an alteration in chromosome 12, but this clinical association seems to be random rather than causal.
