A metastatic ovarian tumor involving the dura: seen on myelography and CT.
The authors report a rare case of an ovarian tumor metastasizing to the dura at L2-L3. It was seen at myelography to be intradural and by CT to be within the spinal canal. The latter exam eliminated a lipoma or a dermoid (both possible intradural or extramedullary-intradural tumor) from consideration.
