Intracranial angiolipomas, rare fat-containing tumors in the brain, are described in this report. This case highlights the unusual presentation of these central nervous system neoplasms.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neurosurgery
Pathology

Background:

Fat-containing tumors within the central nervous system (CNS) are exceptionally rare.
Angiolipomas are benign tumors characterized by vascular and adipose tissue proliferation.

Observation:

This report details the second documented case of an intracranial angiolipoma.
The case involves a detailed description of the tumor's characteristics and location within the brain.

Findings:

The diagnosed intracranial angiolipoma presented with specific histological and radiological features.
Analysis confirmed the benign nature of the tumor, composed of mature fat cells and blood vessels.

Implications:

This case contributes to the limited literature on intracranial angiolipomas.
