ABSTRACT

The WHO (World Health Organization), classification of tumors; places intracranial lipomas as mesenchymal non-meningothelial tumors. The location in the corpus callosum is rare, less than 5%. They are considered as the result of the persistence and abnormal differentiation of the primitive meninx into adipose tissue, typically reabsorption occurs between the eighth and tenth week of gestation. Clinically they present with headaches and seizures occur in more than 50% of cases and some of the time they come with psychological disorders; like the patient presented in our case. They can also be asymptomatic.
