Lumbosacral lipoma in childhood, how strong is the evidence base? A systematic review.

Amongst published series, there is wide variability in patient factors such as lipoma type, patient age, and methods of (particularly urological) assessment. Currently, there is insufficient evidence base upon which to make clear recommendations for the management of children with LSL. There is an imperative for neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and urologists to collaborate to better standardise the terminology, assessment tools, and surgical interventions for this challenging group of conditions.
