Epidural angioleiomyoma: an extraordinary cause of compressive myelopathy-MRI findings with histopathological correlation.

Background: Angioleiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors usually located in the limbs, with anecdotal reports in the spine. We present an atypical case of an epidural spine angioleiomyoma presenting with compressive myelopathy symptoms. The diagnosis was suggested based on MRI findings, and subsequently confirmed histopathologically.
