“…Spinal angiolipomas account for 0.14-1.2% of all spinal tumors, about 2-3% of extradural spinal tumors, and 16-35% of spinal lipomas [19,26,87]. Prior to the reports of five intramedullary angiolipomas by Palkovic et al [63], Preul et al [72], Maggi et al [48], Klisch et al [37] and Weill et al [96], these were thought to occur exclusively in the epidural space.…”

Spinal angiolipomas are benign uncommon neoplasm composed of mature lipocytes admixed with abnormal blood vessels. They account for only 0.04-1.2% of all spinal tumors. We report two cases of lumbar extradural angiolipoma and review previously reported cases. We found 118 cases of spinal epidural angiolipoma (70 females and 48 males; age range 1.5-85 years, mean 44.03) spanning from 1890 to 2006. Prior to diagnosis 40.6% of the patients had weakness of the lower limbs. The interval between the initial symptoms and tumor diagnosis ranged from 1 day to 17 years (mean 20.2 months). Except for four cases diagnosed at autopsy, 109 patients underwent surgery and gross-total resection was performed in 79 cases (72.4%). Spinal angiolipomas are tumors containing angiomatous and lipomatous tissue, predominantly located in the mid-thoracic region. All angiolipomas show iso-or hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images and most lesions enhance with gadolinium administration. The treatment for spinal extradural angiolipomas is total surgical resection and no adjuvant therapy should be administered.

“…7 However, for lumbar angiolipomas sciatica may be the prominent complaint, and clinical differentiation from disc prolapse is difficult. 2,6,11,12 Symptoms vary in duration from a few hours to several years, with a slowly progressive course. 5,7 Some cases with a fluctuating course have also been reported.…”

“…Most of spinal angiolipomas are seen in thoracic region of posterior extradural areas [ 5 , 8 ]. Lumbar spinal angiolipomas are rarely seen and comprise 9.6% of all spinal angiolipomas [ 5 , 9 , 10 ]. Besides, lumbar spinal angiolipomas are frequently seen in anterior extradural locations [ 9 ].…”

Aim:To describe a patient with lumbar angiolipoma mimicking schwannoma in the posterolateral side of the spinal canal with expansion of the left lumbar foramen and to discuss the clinical, radiologic, and surgical features of these lesions with literature.Methods:Without language restriction in this paper, the electronic databases; The Cochrane Collaboration the Cochrane, The Cochrane Library (Issue 2 of 12, Feb. 2011), ProQuest, US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health (NLM) and PubMed dating from 1966 September to January Week 2 2017, were searched for comparative experimental studies using the terms: “OR”, “AND”. On-line literature searches were conducted using the key words “lumbar angiolipoma”, “schwannoma “, “spinal angiolipoma”, “spinal cord”, and “spinal canal”. We compared this research with our patient.Results:Bilateral L2 total laminectomy, excision of the tumors and bilateral L2-L3 transpedicular stabilization were performed, and complaints improved prominently. Pathological examination was reported as angiolipoma.Conclusion:The research shows that a probable diagnosis in such tumor cases could be made by sufficient pre-op scanning before surgical operations and although angiolipoma has been rarely seen in lumbar posterolateral space, it can be seen in lumbar region and mimic schwannoma as producing symptoms and signs of spinal cord and nerve root compression.
