Abstract
Angiolipomas are slow-growing benign mesenchymal-derived tumors consisting of mature adipocytes and thin-walled blood vessels. While the majority of angiolipomas are found in subcutaneous tissues, rarely there are case reports of intracranial lesions. We present a case of cisternal angiolipoma in a 10-year-old female. She presented with vague symptoms like dizziness without neurological deficits and radiological evaluation confirmed a left-sided infratentorial cisternal partially enhancing mass. She underwent craniotomy and had complete resection of the mass, which was histologically composed of mature adipocytes and blood vessels, consistent with angiolipoma. A review of the literature found only 18 cases of intracranial angiolipoma ever reported with our case representing the first case of infratentorial cisternal region.
