“…Certain malignant primary [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] or metastatic [ 11 , 12 ] intradural lesions, although infrequent, may resemble their primary counterparts; however, their initial management differs as it typically requires adjunct oncological treatment [ 13 , 14 ]. Among the less commonly encountered non-malignant tumors are ependymomas, hemangiomas, lipomas, paragangliomas, vascular neoplasms, nerve sheath myxoma, and other exceptionally rare entities, including the seldom-described glomus tumors of the spinal canal [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Contemporary literature lacks examples of intradural, extramedullary spinal glomangiomas. Moreover, glomus tumors in general are exceedingly rare among benign spinal tumors and are mostly located within epidural space or within intervertebral foramen, and only a few cases have been documented to date. This report provides a detailed analysis of the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, surgical intervention, and pathological findings of a 45-year-old patient experiencing progressive locomotor deterioration. The tumor was surgically excised, and subsequent histological examination identified it as a representative of glomus tumors—a glomangioma. Notably, this represents a unique case as it was the first example of such a tumor being discovered intradurally. Radical surgical excision remains the modality of choice in most benign spinal tumors of this localization. Although the malignant transformation of glomus tumors within the spine has not been documented thus far, cases have arisen in other areas. Consequently, we will investigate potential oncological treatments for cases with malignant potential and highlight advancements in surgical techniques for benign intradural spinal tumors.
