Lipoma involving the skull. Case report

M Tomabechi et al. J Neurosurg. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

The case of an intraosseous lipoma involving the left frontal bone is reported. Lipomas of the bone are rare; only three cases of lipomas involving the skull have previously been reported. The differential diagnosis includes a healing bone infarction or fracture, meningioma, hemangioma, and fibrous dysplasia. Diagnosis prior to surgery is difficult.
