Brief description/objective
We report on a young patient with a growing retroauricular benign fat tissue tumor after juvenile fat grafting for dural sealing of a placed ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The clinical images indicate fat tissue rather than a cerebrospinal fluid leak due to potential shunt malfunction suspected on plain radiography. Human adipose tissue is a source of stem cells that can replicate rather than undergoing necrosis, in particular when transplanted during development.
