Cerebellopontine angle lipoma: a review.
Lipomas located in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) have rarely been reported. With the advent of computed tomographic scanning and more sophisticated physiological diagnostic techniques, CPA lipomas are being reported more frequently. This paper reviews the world's literature on this lesion and summarizes the symptoms and signs, diagnostic studies, pathology, and surgical results. Recommendations regarding the therapy of this lesion are presented.
