  • Title: [Thoracic epidural angiolipoma. Report of a case].
    Author: Balbo RJ, Araújo JF, Melro CA, Iafigliola MG, Valvassore FR.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1995 Sep; 53(3-B):659-61. PubMed ID: 8585827.
    Abstract:
    Angiolipomas of the spine are rare (40 cases in the literature). When they are intraspinal, these masses are epidural in more than 90% of the cases. Angiolipomas are benign tumors containing vascular and mature adipose elements. The clinical symptomatology is non specific, but computed tomography and mostly MRI provide a precise diagnosis. With one additional case and a review of the literature, we define the main characteristics of these tumors.
