Description

Occasional headache and vomiting were noticed on a 8-year-old boy for the last 3 years. Because of frequent episodes of headache and vomiting, he was seen by a pediatrician and abnormal calcification was found in plain skull films. Neurological examination revealed no pathological findings except for mental retardation. The calcification in plain films was oval shell like form in the anteroposterior projection and in the lateral projection it was seen in the genu of the corpus callosum with an area of prominant radiolucency. PEG showed a mass between both lateral ventricles accompanying agenesis of the corpus callosum. EEG was in borderline Radioactive brain scanning showed a hot scan the in the region of the genu of the corpus callosum. At surgery the tumor was quite vascular and was found to involve both pericallosal arteries. Microscopic examination was reported as well differentiated lipoma. Torkildsen's procedure was applied for obstructive hydrocephalus. Review of the previously reported cases was made and the histogenesis of the lipoma located in the corpus callosum was commented.
