Solitary choroid plexus lipoma evaluation by computed tomography with review of literature

Among the Intracranial lipomas which are reported to be rare, the choroid plexus lipomas are mostly associated with pericallosal lipomas which also presents isolated. The retrospective study for evaluation of solitary choroid plexus lipoma (SCPL) using Computed Tomography (CT) by altering CT window level settings showed increased negative predictive value and specificity. The solitary choroid plexus lipomas which on routine CT scan could be overlooked as the lipoma and the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) appears hypodense in routine CT scan can be better identified by viewing with altered window settings. This can aid in better identification of the other intracranial lipomas.
