This report details a rare ossifying spinal lipoma with a dermal sinus. Surgical removal resulted in no neurological deficits, highlighting a unique case in spinal surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal lipomas are rare benign tumors.
  • Ossification within spinal lipomas is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Dermal sinuses can be associated with spinal malformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of an ossifying spinal lipoma.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and imaging findings.
  • To document the surgical outcome and highlight the association with a dermal sinus.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with a lumbar swelling and dermal sinus.
  • Diagnostic imaging including MRI to delineate the lipoma and its extent.
  • Surgical excision of the intradural and subcutaneous lipoma.

Main Results:

  • A large intradural lipoma connected to a subcutaneous lipoma was identified.
  • A prominent island of bone was noted within the subcutaneous lipoma.
  • Complete surgical excision was achieved without postoperative neurological deficits.

Conclusions:

  • This is the first reported case of a spinal ossifying lipoma associated with a dermal sinus.
  • Surgical management can be successful, even in complex cases.
  • Highlights the importance of thorough imaging and surgical planning for spinal lipomas.
