Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECL) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder. This case highlights a minor form compatible with normal life, involving scalp and cerebellar lipomas.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECL) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder.
  • Characterized by congenital, non-progressive affecting the brain, skin, and eyes.
  • Often presents with lipomas on the scalp and brain, alongside other abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A seven-month-old infant presented with asymptomatic scalp lipomas.
  • Neuroradiology revealed a cerebellar lipoma connected to an occipital cutaneous lipoma via a bone defect.
  • The child remained healthy at three years of age.

Findings:

  • This case represents a circumscribed or minor form of Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis.
  • Demonstrates that ECL can manifest with limited symptoms and be compatible with a normal lifespan.

  • Highlights the association between cutaneous and intracranial lipomas, linked by bone anomalies.

    • Implications:

    • Suggests that minor forms of ECL may be underdiagnosed.
    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough neuroradiological evaluation in suspected cases.
    • Contributes to understanding the spectrum of ECL and its potential overlap with Proteus syndrome.
