Sažetak
Lipidized tumours of the central nervous system are very rare. Lipidization of tumour cells is a histological hallmark of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma and cerebellar neurolipocytoma and has been described in some other primary neuroepithelial tumours such as glioblastoma, cerebral primitive neuroectodermal tumour, central neurocytoma and ependymoma. However, a few cases of lipidized low-grade glial tumours that could not be classified to the fore mentioned categories have been reported, as well. We report a new case of such a tumour occupying the right temporal lobe of a young woman. Histologically, tumour was composed of GFAP positive glial cells with areas of complete cell lipidization. More than a year after the surgery patient was well and asymptomatic. Recommended treatment plan for these presumably benignant tumours should be continued radiographic surveillance after gross total resection.
