Abstract
Intradural spinal lipomas of thoracic cord are quite rare. It is known that lipomas are hamartomas, which change their size with alterations of body fat. An 18-year-old male patient, with a thoracic intradural lipoma showing spontaneous decrease in the size of a residual lipoma and tethering of the cord 4 years after surgery, is presented in this report.Entities:
