Revisited: spinal angiolipoma--three additional cases.

Angiolipomas are benign tumours which usually arise from subcutaneous tissue, particularly in the forearm, but they do occur rarely in the spinal canal. To the best of our knowledge 60 cases of histologically confirmed spinal angiolipoma have been reported in the medical literature. They show a female predominance (1.6:1), and the mean age at presentation is 43 years. They usually arise in the thoracic spine, most cases presenting with slowly progressive signs and symptoms of cord compression. Rarely, massive acute haemorrhage into the tumour may herald its presence. Surgical resection or decompression are the most satisfactory methods of treatment in most patients. We describe three further cases of spinal angiolipoma, and discuss their aetiology, pathogenesis, clinico-pathological features and surgical management.

Diaphyseal aclasis with spinal cord compression. Report of two cases and review of the literature.

In diaphyseal aclasis, the exostoses usually involve long bones, although occasionally the spine is also affected. Very few cases of osteochondroma causing spinal cord compression have been cited. The authors report their experience with two cases of diaphyseal aclasis. In the first case spinal cord compression caused by an exostosis of the lamina of C-2 occurred in a 9-year-old boy; in the second case a large osteochondroma of C-5 occurred in a 45- year-old man. Also included in this report is a review of the literature highlighting the incidence of diaphyseal aclasis, its clinical features and its excellent prognosis in treated cases.
