Abstract:
A case of a patient with a xanthogranuloma in the thoracic spine is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary tumor between T6 and T9 as a low-intensity mass on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Total removal of this tumor was achieved through a laminoplastic laminectomy. Differentiation of this disease from other xanthogranulomas in the central nervous system is discussed.
