- Abstract
Spinal lipomas are rare, accounting for 1% of all spinal tumors and being associated with occult spinal dysraphism in more than 99% of cases. Such lesions are divided into three main types, namely, lipomyelomeningoceles, intradural lipomas, and filum terminale fibrolipomas. The present report describes a case of congenital lumbosacral lipoma associated with cutaneous stigmata of the lumbar dermal sinus type.
