A rare ventral epidural angiolipoma in a 46-year-old woman caused sacral erosion. Surgical excision offers a good prognosis, even with bone erosion, for spinal angiolipomas.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Oncology

Background:

  • Spinal angiolipomas are rare benign tumors, typically located dorsally in the thoracic region.
  • Approximately ninety cases of spinal angiolipomas have been documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A unique case involved a 46-year-old woman presenting with a ventral epidural angiolipoma at the lumbosacral level.
  • This specific tumor exhibited erosion of the sacrum, a rare manifestation.

Findings:

  • The literature review revealed no previously reported surgically explored angiolipomas at the sacral level.
  • Complete surgical removal (radical excision) of angiolipomas is associated with favorable patient outcomes.
  • Bone erosion does not preclude successful surgical management and good prognosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical locations for spinal angiolipomas.
  • Highlights the importance of considering angiolipomas in the differential diagnosis of lumbosacral masses with bony involvement.
  • Emphasizes that radical excision is a viable and effective treatment option, even in complex cases with sacral erosion.
