Angiolipomas of the spine are rare (40 cases in the literature). When they are intraspinal, these masses are epidural in more than 90% of the cases. Angiolipomas are benign tumors containing vascular and mature adipose elements. The clinical symptomatology is non specific, but computed tomography and mostly MRI provide a precise diagnosis. With one additional case and a review of the literature, we define the main characteristics of these tumors.
