Lipomatous meningioma--an uncommon tumor with distinct radiographic findings.
A case of lipomatous (lipoblastic) meningioma is described. Atypical radiographic features of low density on computed tomography scanning and high intensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging corresponded to the presence of adipose tissue within the tumor. A review of the literature indicates few similar reported cases.
