title: Lipoma of the cerebral convexity.
abstract: A computerised tomographic scan revealed a space-occupying lesion in the right parieto-occipital region of a 34-year-old male patient. He had suffered frequent generalized convulsions and a left-sided hemiparesis since early childhood, but with normal physical and intellectual development. Total resection of the tumour was performed and the pathological finding confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma.
