Left pontine lipoma.
A 47-year-old man, with no significant medical history was found to have a lipoma on the left dorsolateral surface of the rostral pons during autopsy. The cause of death was arteriosclerotic heart disease, with the lipoma being an incidental finding. Neurologic lesions are being found more frequently due to computed tomography; it should also be expected that asymptomatic neurologic lesions will be found more frequently due to expansion of medical examiner systems in the United States.
