title: [Intracranial cholesterol granulomas. Report of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of cholesterolic granuloma, one intraorbital and the other of the petrous apex, are reported. The xanthogranulomatous and/or cystic process localized in the intracranial cavities or in the brain parenchyma are discussed. A simple topographical and histological classification is attempted in answer to a rather ambiguous terminology.
