Abstract
The intradural myolipoma is a very rare tumor, consisting of fully differentiated striated muscle fibers mingled with fat. Only four previous cases have been identified. The authors present a case in which this tumor was associated with a symptomatic tethered spinal cord in an 18-year-old man.
