CT-scan shows the bony mass inside the giant tumor adjacent to the left parietal area.

4. Figure 3
The NMR shows the inner limits clearly; the tumor is external to brain and inner cortical bone.

5. Figure 4
The lipoma is removed with a wide ellipse of skin (A), calculated to leave enough scalp tissue to allow final closure. The lipoma is exposed (B), and the bone as well (C).

6. Figure 5
The irregular bony mass is exposed (A). On the right, one sees the head (B).

8. Figure 7
Two weeks after surgery: the contour of the head is satisfactory, the ear is close to normal position, and the L-shaped scar is hidden in the scalp.

9. Figure 8
Control CT-scan at 10 days showing that there is still excess thickness in the area of the osteolipoma. The inner cortex is intact.
