Abstract:
Lipomas of the infundibulum are extremely rare and may not be recognized radiologically, even on computerized tomography (CT) scanning, if the tumor is less than 20 mm in diameter. A questionable CT diagnosis in the presence of endocrinological symptoms may justify an operation by microsurgical technique on the retrochiasmatic region. In the case reported, microsurgical removal of a small infundibular lipoma was successfully accomplished.
