Lipoma of the corpus callosum

Surg Neurol. 1979 Jan;11(1):31-4.

Abstract

A case of corpus callosum lipoma with presumptive diagnosis is presented. Review of the literature disclosed 84 cases with such diagnoses. Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare intracranial lesion, perhaps congenital and often asymptomatic, but can present with seizure disorder, headache, mental changes, paresis or paralysis. Twenty-one patients had been operated upon. Surgical treatment seems to be of no value in this disease.
