Abstract

Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis(LWNH) is characterized by macules in streaks and whorls along Blaschko's lines, that are not preceded by inflammation. LWNH can present with various findings such as neurologic, musculoskeletal, ophthalmologic, facial and cardiac abnormalities. Intracranial lipoma is very rare condition, with an incidence of less than 1% of all intracranial tumors. We recently experienced a case of LWNH with intracranial lipoma of corpus callosum. We report this case with a brief review of the related literature.
