Background:

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms, typically benign, with characteristic histomorphology.
While GCTs can occur in various body locations, their occurrence within the spinal cord is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

This report presents a unique case of a GCT located in the intradural extramedullary portion of the lumbar spinal cord.
The tumor exhibited classical histomorphological features of a granular cell tumor.

Findings:

The intradural extramedullary location of this GCT in the lumbar spine is a distinctly rare presentation.
Accurate identification and localization of spinal GCTs are critical for patient management.

Implications:

Recognizing GCTs in rare spinal locations is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Understanding the specific behavior and prognosis of GCTs in the spinal cord is vital for neurosurgical oncology.
