Dumbbell angiolipomas are rare non-neurogenic tumors. This case report details a successful two-stage surgical resection of a dumbbell angiolipoma with both spinal and mediastinal components.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Dumbbell tumors, characterized by growth both inside and outside the spinal canal, are exceptionally rare.
  • While most dumbbell tumors originate from neurogenic sources, non-neurogenic variants are infrequently documented.
  • Symptoms typically manifest as spinal cord or medullary compression due to tumor expansion.

Observation:

  • A case of a 56-year-old woman presenting with a dumbbell angiolipoma is described.
  • The tumor exhibited both spinal and mediastinal components, extending into the spinal canal and the mediastinum.
  • The patient experienced symptoms consistent with spinal cord compression.

Findings:

  • A successful two-stage surgical resection was performed for the dumbbell angiolipoma.

  • The initial stage involved a posterior neurosurgical approach to resect the spinal portion, leading to symptom improvement.
  • The subsequent stage utilized a thoracoscopic approach for the removal of the mediastinal portion.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful management of a rare non-neurogenic dumbbell tumor.
    • It demonstrates the efficacy of a staged surgical approach combining neurosurgical and thoracic techniques.
    • The report contributes to the limited literature on dumbbell angiolipomas, offering insights into their surgical treatment.
