Abstract
|
|
|
Spinal angiolipomas are distinct but rare benign lesions composed of mature lipocytes admixed with abnormal blood vessels that vary from capillary to sinusoid or from venular to arterial in size. They account for 0.14% to 1.2% of all spinal axial
tumors. 2% to 3% of extradural spinal tumors. and 16% to 35% of spinal lipomas. The tumors are mostly extradural and have a predilection site in the midthoracic region. The symptoms are usually due to cord compression. Magnetic resornance imaging
is the
diagnostic choice and surgery is universally successful in relieving the symptoms The authors report a cases of spinal angiolipoma in a 35-year-old female which was successfully treated by operation. A review of the literature on this lesion is
also
presented.
