TL;DR: Computed tomography, MRI and MR angiography findings of an unusually located intracranial lipoma leading to simple partial epilepsy were presented in this case report.

TL;DR: Although extremely uncommon, the possibility of myelomatous change should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an intracranial lipoma if it shows some areas of mixed density.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Interhemisperic lipomas are almost always associated with hypogenesis or agenesis of the corpus callosum. These lesions are stable. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report a case of an inter-hemispheric lipoma in a 72-year-old man who had undergone myelolipomatous differentiation. INTERVENTION: Gross total excision of the lesion was performed. CONCLUSION: Although extremely uncommon, the possibility of myelomatous change should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an intracranial lipoma if it shows some areas of mixed density.

TL;DR: Lipomas in the brains of mice are generally small and are unlikely to be observed during gross examination, but one of 15 lipomas in one series was detected grossly and formed a small whitish mass in the cerebellar meninges.
Abstract: Lipomas in the brains of mice are generally small and are unlikely to be observed during gross examination. Only one of 15 lipomas in one series was detected grossly. It formed a small whitish mass in the cerebellar meninges (Morgan et al. 1984).

TL;DR: The incidental autopsy finding of an intracranial lipoma in the left Sylvian region is reported, which is a rare location for an uncommon lesion.
Abstract: The incidental autopsy finding of an intracranial lipoma in the left Sylvian region is reported. This is a rare location for an uncommon lesion. A recent theory on its pathogenesis as a congenital lesion is presented and current methods of diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

TL;DR: Encephaloceles are extracranial herniations of intracranial structures through defects in the skull and dura, and meningoceles and meningoencephalomeningocele are herniated tissue of brain tissue and meninges alone.
Abstract: Encephaloceles are extracranial herniations of intracranial structures through defects in the skull and dura. Meningoceles are herniations of meninges alone and meningoencephaloceles are herniations of brain tissue and meninges. If part of a ventricle is also included, it is called hydroencephalomeningocele. In most cases, these are detected prenatally by obstetric ultrasound or at birth by clinical presentation of a subcutaneous mass. Encephaloceles may be isolated anomalies, or they may be seen in conjunction with other anomalies, or may be a part of a syndrome. Agenesis or hypogenesis of the corpus callosum is a commonly associated finding.
