Lipoma of the corpus callosum in a neonate: sonographic evaluation.
Lipomas of the corpus callosum are benign neoplasms which are rarely diagnosed in pediatric patients. In infants they are congenital lesions consisting of collections of adipose tissue; their etiology is unclear. We describe a case of callosal lipoma discovered by sonography in a 2-day-old neonate.
