Sumario:BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Fibrolipomas are a rare subtype of lipomas and very rare in the oral and maxillofacial region. Lipomas affecting the central nervous system are even more infrequent occurring with a frequency of 0.1%. STUDY DESIGN, METHODS: Case report. CASE PRESENTATION: This report includes a patient who had a nasal septal fibrolipoma and an accompanying corpus callosum lipoma. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first reported nasal septal fibrolipoma case in the literature. The diagnostic and surgical features of this case and the unity of septal fibrolipoma and intracranial lipomas are discussed.
