title: [Intramedullary lipomatous ependymoma: case report].
abstract: A 51 year-old man was admitted to our hospital with poor general health and neurological disturbances with paresthesia, dysuria and defecation disorder. Neuroimaging showed a syringomyelia cyst from C1 to conus medullaris, together with a intramedullar tumoral mass in T6-T7. Histological examination of the surgical specimen led to the diagnosis of lipomatous ependymoma.
