Spinal epidural angiolipomas are rare causes of spinal cord compression. Complete surgical excision of these benign tumors can lead to excellent recovery and prevent recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal epidural angiolipoma is a rare condition causing spinal cord compression.
  • This entity presents unique clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old woman presented with a 5-month history of progressive myelopathy.
  • Imaging revealed a dorsal epidural mass at T7-T8, consistent with an angiolipoma.
  • Surgical laminectomy achieved gross total resection of the lesion.

Findings:

  • Postoperative improvement in neurological symptoms was observed.
  • A two-year follow-up confirmed no tumor recurrence or neurological deficit.

Implications:

  • Spinal angiolipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic modality.
  • Complete surgical excision is the goal, balancing aggressiveness with the indolent nature of these tumors.
