Abstract

Intracranial lipomas are considered to be choristomas rather than neoplasms or even hamartomas, as they are histologically composed of fat cells but anatomically misplaced. Intracranial lipomas are located in the midline in 90% of cases and supratentorial in 80%, with the dorsal pericallosal region being the most common site [1]. More than half of intracranial lipomas are associated with congenital malformations such as agenesis/dysgenesis of the corpus callosum [2]. Most intracranial lipomas are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally, however some cases present with headache and seizures [3].
