Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the impact of various preoperative factors on the overall survival of 81 patients who underwent surgery for spinal metastases between 2015 and 2021.
- Key predictive factors identified included the histology of the primary tumor, Tomita and Tokuhashi revised scores, preoperative Karnofsky Performance Status Score (KPS), and the use of adjuvant therapy after surgery.
- The findings indicated that these factors significantly influenced patient survival, with the median survival time post-surgery being 13 months.
We report the case of a young patient with a thoracolumbar (T11-L3) intramedullary angiolipoma. Total removal of the tumor was possible and after operation the patient's neurological condition greatly improved. Only two previous cases of intramedullary angiolipomas have been reported, and in neither could the lesion be wholly removed.

Both the intraspinal and the extraspinal parts of the dumbbell tumor were totally removed during the same surgical session.
