Osteolipoma is an ossified lipoma with distinct components of fat and bone. We present a case of interhemispheric osteolipoma associated with total agenesis of the corpus callosum. A 20-year-old man complained of severe headache, nausea and vomiting. Brain computed tomography showed a low-density mass in an interhemispheric fissure, with high T1 and T2 magnetic resonance signals compatible with fat. The mass measured 4.9 x 2.9 cm in size and showed peripheral calcifications. There was another small piece of same signal mass within the lateral ventricular choroid plexus. The interhemispheric lesion was removed by an interhemispheric approach. Osteolipoma is rare in interhemispheric region, however, it should be a differential diagnosis of lesions with fat intensity mass and calcifications.
骨脂肪瘤是一种具有脂肪和骨独特成分的骨化性脂肪瘤。我们报告一例与胼胝体完全缺如相关的半球间骨脂肪瘤病例。一名20岁男性主诉严重头痛、恶心和呕吐。脑部计算机断层扫描显示半球间裂有一个低密度肿块,T1和T2磁共振信号高,与脂肪相符。肿块大小为4.9×2.9厘米,有周边钙化。侧脑室脉络丛内还有一小片相同信号的肿块。通过半球间入路切除了半球间病变。骨脂肪瘤在半球间区域很少见,然而,对于具有脂肪密度肿块和钙化的病变,它应作为鉴别诊断之一。
