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.

摘要

脊柱血管脂肪瘤很罕见（文献中有40例报道）。当它们位于椎管内时，这些肿块在超过90%的病例中位于硬膜外。血管脂肪瘤是含有血管和成熟脂肪成分的良性肿瘤。其临床症状不具特异性，但计算机断层扫描尤其是磁共振成像可提供精确诊断。通过增加1例病例并回顾文献，我们明确了这些肿瘤的主要特征。
