Intraosseous Lipoma of the Skull: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Case histories of a 12-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman with hyperostosis of the frontoparietal bones are presented. Microscopical examination of the lesions showed intraosseous lipoma with hyperostosis of diploë. In both cases, only the prominent part of the tumor was removed for cosmetic reasons. The results were satisfactory, and there was no evidence of recurrence over a period of six years.
