| ABSTRACT |
|
Fibrolipomatous harmatomas are rare, benign, fibrolipomatous process of peripheral nerves. It usually manifests as a soft slowly growing mass consisting of proliferating fibrofatty tissue surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. The median nerve is affected in the great majority of cases. Intradural spinal cases are extremely rare. The authors present a very rare case of a fibrolipomatous harmatoma involving the intradural space of lumbar spine with review of pertinent literature. |
