title: [A lipoma of the cerebellopontile angle].
abstract: The case of a 38-year old man with a lipoma of the left cerebellopontine angle is presented. While the clinical signs of that tumour are unspecific, an exact diagnosis is possible by CT and MRI. As in other reported cases only an incomplete removal of the tumours was made because of the adherence of the lipoma to the nerves of the CPA.
