Abstract: (5075 Views)
Background and Importance: Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition. It constitutes of only 0.6-1.1% of all spinal tumors. When they occur, the typical location is in the subdural, extramedullary space of the lumbo-sacral region.
Case Presentation: We report a forty-two -year-old female who presented with left extremity radicular pain and myelopathy. MRI of the thoracic spine,illustrated a focal fusiform enlargement of the thoracic cord at T4 and T5. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst.
Conclusion: The lesion was surgically resected and the pathology revealed we discuss the clinical features, MR imaging characteristics and surgical findings of this rare tumor and review the associated literature.
