Lumbar extradural infiltrating angiolipoma: a case report and review of 17 previously reported cases with infiltrating spinal angiolipomas

Epidural spinal angiolipoma: a case series

“…The noninfiltrating type is more common, usually well encapsulated and demarcated, while the infiltrating types are rare, partially or entirely unencapsulated, ill defined, and commonly infiltrate the surrounding tissues especially the bone [13], therefore should be considered and treated differently [14]. However, in recent years, some researchers indicated most patients achieved good recovery and there is no difference in the outcomes of the two types [15]. All 3 cases in this report can be categorized into the none-infiltrating type as they showed clear demarcation and no invasion to the bone.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Of these, SA were located epidurally in 127 patients (94.8%). In these 127 patients, SA were found in the cervical region in two patients (1.6%), in the thoracic region in 96 patients (75.6%), in the lumbar region in 15 patients (11.8%), in the cervico-thoracic region in five patients (3.9%), in the thoracolumbar region in four patients (3.1%), and in the lumbo-sacral region in five patients (3.9%), with a female predominance (male:female = 50:77).…”

Spinal angiolipoma: Experience of twelve patients and literature

“…The outcomes of the infiltrating and noninfiltrating types are not different. [10,11] Of the 12 patients, 2 patients had infiltrating tumors. It was difficult to achieve total resection; however, sub-total resection had no recurrence after 40 months of follow up.…”
