    Author: Dogan S, Arslan E, Sahin S, Aksoy K, Aker S.
    Journal: Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo); 2006 Mar; 46(3):157-60. PubMed ID: 16565587.
    Abstract:
    Spinal extradural angiolipomas are benign tumors mostly localized in the thoracic region. A 50-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man presented with rare lumbar spinal angiolipoma manifesting as low back pain but without neurological signs. Magnetic resonance imaging showed lumbar extradural tumors at the L4-5 and L1-2 levels, respectively. Each patient underwent complete surgical resection of the epidural tumors. Histological examination revealed characteristics of angiolipomas in both tumors. The symptoms of both patients improved postoperatively and no recurrence of the tumors was found 1 year after surgery.
