Abstract

Few cases of pericallosal lipoma with several other lesions, including specific forms of calcification and brain malformations, have been reported. We present the case of an asymptomatic 83-year-old man with a pericallosallipoma with peculiar symmetrical morphology in the midline of the skull. We posit that the lesions began forming in the very early embryonic period and were closely associated with the cranial neural crest cells. We report the neuroradiological findings of this characteristic lesion and discuss several literature reviews on the process of its formation.

摘要

少数病例伴有其他几种病变的腹壁脂肪瘤，包括特定形式的钙化和脑畸形，已被报道。我们介绍了一名无症状的83岁男性，其颅骨中线具有特殊的对称形态。我们认为，病变始于胚胎早期，并与颅神经c细胞密切相关。我们报告了这种特征性病变的神经放射学发现，并讨论了有关其形成过程的一些文献综述。
