Lipoblastoma is a rare benign neoplasm with overlapping histology with other lipomatous tumors. Genetic aberrations including translocations of 8q and splitting of the PLAG1 probe leading to "promoter swapping" and gains of chromosome 8 or PLAG1 foci have been described in lipoblastoma. Here, we report 3 lipoblastomas revealing novel genetic aberrations involving PLAG1: a high level of PLAG1 amplification up to 50 copies in a 4-year-old girl with recurrence of a right flank mass, a partial deletion of PLAG1 with the flanking junction breakpoints involving the 3'PLAG1 and 5'HAS2 genes in a 17-month-old boy with a retroperitoneal mass, and an insertion of 2q31 into 8q11.2 and translocation of 8q to 2q with the latter translocated onto 12q leading to separation of the PLAG1 FISH probe in a 5-year-old girl with a left back mass. Our novel cytogenetic findings further expand the mechanisms of PLAG1 transcriptional upregulation in lipoblastoma pathogenesis.
