ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of an ossified lipoma at tuber cinerum, an incidental finding when performing an autopsy of a 61-year old male. A tight connection to right communicans posterior artery led first to the diagnosis of a calcified saccular aneurysm, but histologic examination revealed an osteolipoma consisting of mature adipose tissue and formation of bone. Intracranial lipomas are neither hamartomas nor true neoplasms, but they are more likely to be congenital malformations. The recent literature is reviewed, and the two most current embryologic concepts of the development of intracranial lipomas are discussed.
