Resumos

Lipomas intracranianos são raros, geralmente sendo achado de autópsia. Situam-se na linha média, mais frequentemente de localização central. Podem ocorrer desde a infância até a vida adulta. Muitos dos "lipomas", na verdade são associados a lesões hamartomatosas ou, mesmo, a neoplasias como os meduloblastomas do cerebelo. Relatamos e discutimos um caso de lipoma de cerebelo, achado de autópsia de um recém-nascido prematuro.

lipoma; tumor cerebelar; malformação

Intracranial lipomas are rare. Usually they are incidental findings at autopsy. They occur in all the age groups and are often associated with hamartomatous lesions or neoplasms as cerebellum medulloblastomas. More frequently they are central and located at the midline. We report and discuss a case of lipoma of the cerebellum, an incidental finding at autopsy of a premature newborn.

ABSTRACT

Intracranial lipomas are rare. Usually they are incidental findings at autopsy. They occur in all the age groups and are often associated with hamartomatous lesions or neoplasms as cerebellum medulloblastomas. More frequently they are central and located at the midline. We report and discuss a case of lipoma of the cerebellum, an incidental finding at autopsy of a premature newborn.

Key words: lipoma, cerebellar tumor, malformation.
