The authors report a case of a cerebellopontine (CP) angle lipoma with a very unusual histological appearance. The 38-year-old male patient suffered vertigo, left tinnitus, and left hearing disturbance. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a nonenhanced low-density area and a high-intensity region in the left CP angle, respectively. The tumor, which was only partially removed because of its tight adhesion to the VIIIth nerve and brainstem, consisted of mature lipocytes and contained a piece of cartilage, which is highly unusual.
