“…Takebayashi et al [12] reported a 3-year-old girl with a dumbbell-shaped lipoblastoma extending into the cervical spine and recommended early surgical intervention to avoid neurological deficits. Spinal dumbbell lipoblastomas occurring in the epidural space of the entire spinal canal have been reported, resulting in paresis due to compression of the thecal sac [13, 14]. In our case, we used a single-stage posterior approach with laminotomy followed by fixation of the laminae with absorbable plates to prevent spinal deformity.…”

Introduction: Lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis are rare benign mesenchymal adipose tumors that originate from embryonic white adipocytes and occur most commonly in infancy and early childhood. Lipoblastomas occur in the extremities and trunk, including the retroperitoneum and peritoneal cavity. Therefore, infiltration into the spinal canal has rarely been reported. Case Presentation: A 4-year-old girl presented to our clinic because of difficulty sitting on the floor with her legs straight. She also complained of enuresis and constipation for the past 6 months with persistent headache and back pain evoked by body anteflexion. An MRI revealed a massive lesion of the psoas major muscle, retroperitoneal and subcutaneous space, extending into the spinal epidural space between L2 and S1. The patient underwent surgery that resulted in gross total removal of the tumor from the spinal canal. The mass was yellowish, soft, lobulated, fatty, and easily removed from the surrounding structures. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of lipoblastoma. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without any signs of neurological deficit. Discussion/Conclusion: We herein discuss a rare case of lipoblastoma extending into the spinal canal resulting in neurological symptoms. Although this tumor is benign with no potential for metastasis, it is prone to local recurrence. Therefore, close postoperative observation should be performed.

“…Ninety percent of spinal dumbbell tumors are schwannomas, and up to 33% of schwannomas have a dumbbell form ( 19 , 23 ). Other dumbbell-shaped tumors include hemangiomas ( 6 , 12 ), meningiomas ( 28 ), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors ( 22 ), neurogenic paravertebral tumors with origin from neurogenic elements within the thorax ( 7 ) (including neuroblastoma ( 20 )), ganglioneuroblastoma ( 20 ), ganglioneuroma ( 3 ), hemangioblastomas ( 8 ), liposarcomas ( 31 ), lipoblastoma ( 32 ), angiomatosis ( 33 ), angiolipoma ( 34 ), rhabdomyosarcoma ( 35 ), spine extraosseus chordoma (SEC) ( 36 ), mesenchymal chondrosarcoma ( 37 ), soft tissue chondroma ( 38 ), osteochondroma ( 39 ), malignant glomus tumor ( 40 ), malignant solitary fibrous tumor ( 41 ), plasmocytoma ( 42 ), metastasis ( 43 ), Ewing sarcoma ( 44 ), atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor ( 45 ), lymphoma ( 46 ), lymphangioma ( 47 ), meningeal melanocytoma ( 48 ), small cell malignant tumor ( 49 ), and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) ( 50 ).…”

SUMMARY – Spinal dumbbell tumors are defined by a narrowing at the point where they penetrate the intervertebral foramina or dura mater, assuming an hourglass or dumbbell shape. Dumbbell-shaped spinal hemangiomas are extremely rare. We describe a dumbbell spinal tumor (epidural cavernous hemangioma) resected by a 2-stage single-sitting combined approach. We also conduct a substantial literature review of the subject. We present a case of a 78-year-old male who was found to have a homogeneously enhancing, dumbbell-shaped, intraspinal, extradural tumor mass extending into the left chest cavity. The tumor was resected with a single-sitting 2-stage posterior technique: a microsurgical approach, followed by endoscopic resection via a thoracoscopic approach. There are several reports in the literature on the combined approach for dumbbell tumors of the spinal cord. Our case is the first to describe 2-stage combined surgery in 1 sitting for dumbbell hemangioma with the patient in the lateral decubitus position for the thoracoscopic part of the surgery; and the use of a fat pad, which was applied in the neuroforamen via the posterior route, as a marker for resection during the transthoracic procedure.
