Extradural toruloma in the lumbo-sacral region.
An extradural toruloma developed in the lumbo-sacral region of a man. Symptoms had been present for two years, but he had been diagnosed as having tuberculosis of the lung seven years before. The mass was excised and the patient treated with Amphotericin B which had to be discontinued and Sulfa Soxizole substituted. He recovered and has remained symptom free for three years.
