title: Lumbosacral spinal intradural extramedullary paciniomyolipoma: magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and pathology findings.
abstract: This report describes a paciniomyolipoma as an intradural tumor of the lumbar spinal cord composed of adipose tissue, striated skeletal muscle, and pacinian corpuscles. Simple lipomas, myolipomas, and other variant lipomas of the spinal cord have been described in the literature; to the authors' knowledge, however, this is the first report of this unusual and unique lipoma.
