Background: Congenital spinal lipomatous malformations (spinal lipomas, lipomyeloceles, and lipomyelomeningoceles) are closed neural tube defects over the lower back. Differentiation from some other closed neural tube defects in this region can be problematic for pathologists.
Materials And Methods: This review is based on PubMed searches of the embryology, gross and histopathologic findings, and laboratory reporting requisites for retained medullary spinal cords, coccygeal medullary vestiges and cysts, myelocystoceles, true human vestigial tails, and pseudotails for comparison with congenital spinal lipomatous malformations.
