Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare congenital condition, often asymptomatic, but which may present as epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, or headaches. This paper reviews the condition and reports the only two cases which are known to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London. The second case demonstrated the value of computerised axial tomography (EMI scan) in making the diagnosis and showing associated anomalies.

Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare intracranial condition, possibly congenital. It is often asymptomatic, but may present with headaches, seizures, hemiplegia, or dementia. An example of this disease is reported, and the condition reviewed. The radiological appearance is described, with emphasis on the value of computerized tomography in making the diagnosis. Surgery is of limited value but may be required in specially selected cases.

Cardiac lipoma is an uncommon tumor and is rarely a source of either lung or systemic emboli. A 46-year-old woman hospitalized because of left hemiplegia is presented. CT scan revealed a right temporo-parietal infarction. Chest x-ray showed a left lower lobe infiltrate. Pulmonary perfusion-ventilation scan indicated "high probability" of pulmonary embolism. Because brain and lung emboli are often associated, an echocardiogram was made and a 2 x 2 cm mass in the apical septum was found, confirmed by transesophageal echocardiogram. At operation a septal lipoma was resected. When pulmonary emboli occurs in association with systemic emboli, lipoma of the septum, although very rare, should be considered.
