Abstract
Lipomatous tumors can contain uncommon or rare components (such as fibrolipoma or angiolipoma) that may result in the development of symptoms. To the best of the authors' knowledge, lipoma associated with an osseous component has not been previously reported. A case of intraspinal extradural tumor composed of both adipose and bone tissue is presented. Current theories on the cause of lipoma with an osseous component are discussed. The tumor was histologically confirmed to be an osteolipoma, and the patient recovered well after resection.
