Corpus callosal lipoma in a young adult with extracranial extension, presenting as a frontal scalp swelling: A rare case report.

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.
