Description
Yuko Makihara and colleagues report a spinal epidural angiolipoma of the vascular-predominant type in a 2026 case study. An 80-year-old man developed progressive gait instability from a thoracic epidural mass. MRI showed a rim of fatty tissue around a strongly enhancing vascular center, with growth into the right intervertebral opening.
Surgeons removed the tumor, and pathology confirmed angiolipoma, a benign growth mixing mature fat with small vessels. Seeing both fat and vascular parts on preoperative imaging is presented as the key clue for diagnosis and for planning the operation. The mass sat in the spine of a man of four score years, and its slow growth gave him time to seek care while he could still walk with some ease.
