| ABSTRACT |
|
Iatrogenic spinal epidermoid tumors are rare and implanted.
Implanted skin fragment by trauma or lumbar puncture is thought to be a possible cause. Because of the lag in time between the lumbar puncture and the development of a symptomatic tumor, this relationship is usually overlooked and can cause a delay in diagnosis. We present a case of intraspinal epidermoid tumor developed 7 years after a lumbar puncture. |
| Key Words:
Intraspinal epidermoid tumor; Lumbar puncture |
