Abstract
Two cases of cholesterolic granuloma, one intraorbital and the other of the petrous apex, are reported. The xanthogranulomatous and/or cystic process localized in the intracranial cavities or in the brain parenchyma are discu ssed. A simple topographical and histological classification is attempted i n answer to a rather ambiguous terminology.
