Abstract:
Intracranial lipomas are described as a rare finding. In this small retrospective analysis of 50 cases undergoing brain CT for various reasons small intracranial lipomas where found in nine patients. In contrast to previous reports lipomas may be a frequent finding on CT imaging of the brain. In particular, these small lipomas seem to be incidental findings lacking clinical relevance. Radiologists should be aware of intracranial lipomas to establish proper differential diagnosis.
