Abstract
Angiolipomas are mesenchymal tumors composed of mature adipocytes with abnormal vascular elements. They are most commonly found in subcutaneous tissues of the trunk and are rarely seen at craniospinal axes. We present an untypical case of frontal lobe angiolipoma manifested with seizures and initially described as an arteriovenous malformation. MRI with fat-suppression sequence plays key role in angiolipomas diagnostics.
