Intracranial lipomas are rare congenital lesions of the pediatric age group and incidental findings in neuroimaging studies, but some are associated with other congenital malformations. They are usually located in the interhemispheric fissure, often in the vicinity of the corpus callosum. Most of the intracranial lipomas are asymptomatic and require no therapy. The diagnosis is usually made based on the imaging findings and doesn't need histologic conformation. The author presents here the imaging findings of a corpus callosal lipoma with unusual extracranial extension in a 30-year-old male, highlighting the need for a complete evaluation of each patient presenting with a scalp lesion before any intervention, irrespective of the age group.
颅内脂肪瘤是儿童年龄组罕见的先天性病变,在神经影像学研究中多为偶然发现,但有些与其他先天性畸形相关。它们通常位于大脑半球间裂,常靠近胼胝体。大多数颅内脂肪瘤无症状,无需治疗。诊断通常基于影像学表现,无需组织学证实。本文作者展示了一名30岁男性胼胝体脂肪瘤伴不寻常颅外延伸的影像学表现,强调在进行任何干预之前,无论患者年龄组如何,对每例出现头皮病变的患者都需要进行全面评估。
