Abstract

Intracranial lipomas are rare, frequently asymptomatic, congenital malformations. They are most commonly located in the pericallosal region and are often detected incidentally during neuroimaging studies or postmortem examinations. While other associated brain malformations, most notably callosal agenesis, are frequently reported, association with a subcutaneous scalp lipoma is extremely rare. We present a case of pericallosal lipoma associated with callosal agenesis and subcutaneous lipoma over the anterior fontanelle in a 6-month-old female infant who had excision of only the extracranial mass and has remained asymptomatic from the intracranial mass for the 3 years of follow up.
