[Lipoma of the temporal lobe].

This is a case report on a 16-year-old girl presenting lipoma located in the temporal cerebral lobe, in conjunction with an ever increasing frequency of epileptic seizures, unresponsive to the anticonvulsive treatment carried out. A comprehensive analysis is done of the data concerning clinical course, diagnostic examinations' specificity and microsurgical removal of the lipoma with ensuing optimal postoperative results--total abatement of epileptic seizures against the background of reduced anticonvulsive therapy throughout the 3.5 years observation period. The literature survey shows that intracranial lipomas with the location described represent as casuistic rarity.
