Spinal angiolipomas are benign uncommon tumors with the well-differentiated fatty tissue and copious abnormal vascular elements. The epidural angiolipoma accounts for more than 90% of all reported cases. We present a rare case of intradural extramedullary angiolipoma studied by CT and MRI imaging and reviewed the relevant literature. The bilateral L4-S1 laminectomy was performed. No serious complication occurred postoperatively and lambosacra MR imaging revealed no recurrence 1 year after surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
