BACKGROUND Angiomyolipoma (AML) of the spine is a rare benign neoplasm (accounting for 0.14%–1.2% of all spine tumors) that is often described along with angiolipoma because of their similarities. They occur almost exclusively in the extradural space, with the thoracic spine being the commonest level. OBSERVATIONS The authors present the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an extremely rare case of thoracic spine AML in a 47-year-old male patient. The patient underwent laminectomy and gross total resection of the tumor and had an excellent immediate postoperative neurological recovery and long-term functional neurological outcome. LESSONS It is always wise to consider rare benign spinal epidural neoplasms such as spinal AMLs in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural mass, despite metastasis being the commonest epidural tumor with variable modes of treatment, because the management of benign spinal epidural masses such as spine AML is always surgical and associated with an excellent long-term outcome.

Spinal angiolipomas (SALs) are extremely rare benign tumors composed of both mature fatty tissue and anomalous vascular channels. We present two cases of SALs and review the clinical presentation, radiological appearance, pathological aspects, and treatment of this distinct clinicopathological mass. The patients’ neurologic symptoms improved postoperatively and follow-up revealed no signs of tumor recurrence or neurological deficit. SAL should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with spinal cord compression. Magnetic resonance imaging is important for detecting and characterizing SALs. The gold standard treatment modality should be total resection.
