Intracranial osteolipomas and chondromas are rare benign tumors. Forty-five chondromas, mostly supratentorial, have been reported in the literature since 1981, with origins most commonly in the sellar regions. Twenty-one osteolipomas have been described to date, usually located near the tuber cinereum or the corpus callosum. The authors present a case of an osteochondrolipoma arising from the tentorium diagnosed in a pediatric patient at the age of 9 years. The case and treatment are discussed, and a review of the literature is provided.
