    Intracranial lipomas are rare, particularly in the cerebellopontine angle. This study reviews their clinical presentation, surgical treatment, and radiologic diagnosis, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neuroradiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Intracranial lipomas are rare benign tumors composed of mature adipose tissue.
    • The cerebellopontine angle is an uncommon location for intracranial lipomas.
    • Previous reports indicate a high incidence of symptomatic presentation due to cranial nerve compression.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case of a cerebellopontine angle lipoma.
    • Clinical presentations, surgical management, and radiologic findings are discussed.
    • Diagnostic challenges, including recognition of fat density on computed tomography (CT), are highlighted.

    Findings:

    • Lipomas in the cerebellopontine angle frequently cause symptoms by compressing adjacent cranial nerves.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosis, but fat density may not always be recognized.

  • Surgical management and radiologic assessment are key components in handling these rare lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate radiologic assessment, including recognition of fat density, is vital for diagnosing cerebellopontine angle lipomas.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation and surgical considerations aids in managing these rare intracranial tumors.
    • Further investigation into the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these lesions is warranted.
