Callosal-Choroid Plexus Lipoma associated with Subcutaneous Lipoma

Case Report

Abstract

A callosal-choroid plexus lipoma associated with subcutaneous lipoma is presented. More than 100 cases of callosal lipoma with the characteristic X-ray findings have been reported. However, such a combined occurrence as this is very rare. Only 14 cases have been published in the literature, and the majority of the cases were accompanied by the dysraphic lesions. The operative findings of this case revealed that the subcutaneous lipoma was not continuous with the callosal lipoma. These cases were analyzed with emphasis on the association of dysraphism in the pathogenesis of intracranial lipomas.
