Pericallosal lipomas are rare benign intracranial masses that arise during embryonic development, typically categorized into tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes. A mixed variant of both tubulonodular and curvilinear subtypes is very rare. Patients with pericallosal lipomas may be asymptomatic or may have different presentations, such as headaches. Conservative medical management is the mainstay of therapy for those without epileptic seizures or associated vascular malformations. We present a case of a mixed variant pericallosal lipoma in a patient with chronic headaches that were diagnosed using head computed tomography (CT) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
胼胝体脂肪瘤是一种罕见的颅内良性肿块,在胚胎发育过程中形成,通常分为管状结节型和曲线型亚型。管状结节型和曲线型亚型的混合变体非常罕见。胼胝体脂肪瘤患者可能无症状,也可能有不同表现,如头痛。对于无癫痫发作或相关血管畸形的患者,保守药物治疗是主要治疗方法。我们报告一例患有慢性头痛的混合变体胼胝体脂肪瘤患者,通过头部计算机断层扫描(CT)和脑磁共振成像(MRI)确诊。
