A lipoblast is a precursor cell for an adipocyte. [1]
Alternate terms include adipoblast [2] and preadipocyte. [3]
Early stages are almost indistinguishable from fibroblasts. [4]
Lipoblasts are seen in liposarcoma [7] and characteristically have abundant multivacuolated clear cytoplasm and a dark staining (hyperchromatic), indented nucleus.
