Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spinal epidural angiolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor composed of vascular and fat elements. Hemorrhagic transformation of angiolipoma is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Herein, we report a very rare case of the surgical removal of an angiolipoma that had undergone hemorrhagic transformation. On preoperative radiological studies, it was difficult to differentiate between a simple hematoma and a mass. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a hypervascular mass and total en bloc removal was planned. The patient underwent T3-5 laminectomy and tumor removal surgery, and his symptoms gradually improved.
