title: Lipoma of the cerebral peduncle. Case report.
abstract: A rare case of intracranial lipoma of the cerebral peduncle was reported. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of this unusual tumor are described. The unique capability of direct sagittal imaging makes MRI the best procedure for evaluating the midline abnormalities. She did not have operation because she was asymptomatic. She will be checked periodically in the outpatient clinic.
