“…Intracranial lipomas are congenital malformations that conceptualize to result from abnormal persistence of the meninx Primitiva, the mesenchymal tissue that gives rise to the meninges, and its subsequent abnormal differentiation into adipose tissue [8] . They are usually found in the midsagittal region of the brain mostly in the vicinity of the corpus callosum and half of them are associated with Corpus callosum dysgenesis, resulting from connatal infection with cytomegalovirus or X chromosome deletion, although most are idiopathic [2 , 9 , 10] . A normal corpus callosum indicates lipoma formation at a late embryonic stage, while agenesis or dysgenesis of corpus callosum implies insult at an early stage [11] .…”

Intracranial lipomas are rare congenital lesions of the pediatric age group and incidental findings in neuroimaging studies, but some are associated with other congenital malformations. They are usually located in the interhemispheric fissure, often in the vicinity of the corpus callosum. Most of the intracranial lipomas are asymptomatic and require no therapy. The diagnosis is usually made based on the imaging findings and doesn't need histologic conformation. The author presents here the imaging findings of a corpus callosal lipoma with unusual extracranial extension in a 30-year-old male, highlighting the need for a complete evaluation of each patient presenting with a scalp lesion before any intervention, irrespective of the age group.

“…Associated with varying degrees of corpus callosal dysgenesis, pericallosal comprises about 50% of all intracranial lipomas. 1,9 The abnormal resorption of the meninx primitive or primitive meninges is the underlying pathogenesis of the corpus callosal lipoma. During the 8 th and 10 th week of development subarachnoid spaces are created and reabsorption occurs.…”

“…Sometimes central flow voids representing pericallosal arteries coursing through the substance of the tumor are seen. [8][9][10] Management of corpus callosal lipoma is mainly symptomatic, anticonvulsant therapy being the mainstay. 1 The management of symptomatic central nervous system abnormalities, cranial nerve involvement should be done accordingly.…”

Intracranial lipomas are very rare, slow-growing, and benign tumors usually asymptomatic but occasionally associated with symptoms like a seizure. This rare occurrence is usually diagnosed incidentally and magnetic resonance imaging is the choice of investigation and diagnosis can be confirmed with fat suppression sequences. Management of corpus callosal lipoma is mainly conservative management with surgery not indicated due to the location and its peripheral structures. Managing seizure is the mainstay of the treatment. We present a case of incidentally diagnosed tubulonodular corpus callosal lipoma after having an event of a fall injury.

“…Ils sont situés sur la ligne médiane dans 90% des cas, et le site le plus fréquent est la région dorsale péri calleuse [ 2 ]. Toutefois, bien qu'ils siègent dans 45% des cas au niveau du corps calleux, les lipomes du corps calleux ne représentent que 5% des tumeurs calleuses [ 3 ].…”

“…Les lipomes intracrâniens sont des lésions congénitales malformatives très rares, moins de 0,1% des tumeurs intracrâniennes [ 1 ]. Ils sont considérés comme des hétérotopies plutôt que des tumeurs, car ils sont histologiquement composés de cellules graisseuses normales, mais anatomiquement déplacées [ 2 ]. Ils se produisent principalement dans la région péri calleuse (45%) [ 3 ].…”

Le lipome du corps calleux est une malformation congénitale très rare, qui peut être associée à des degrés divers de dysgénésie du corps calleux. Son extension dans le ventricule latéral est encore plus rare. Il est souvent asymptomatique, mais peut se présenter par une épilepsie, hémiplégie, démence ou de simples céphalées. La tomodensitométrie et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique permettent facilement le diagnostic. Nous rapportons le cas d'une jeune fille de 14 ans, souffrant de simples céphalées, chez qui on découvre un lipome du corps calleux avec extension au ventricule latéral.
