Abstract
- Background: Inflammatory pseudotumor is a histologically proven benign tumor-like lesion of unknown etiopathogenesis. It is less commonly found in central nervous system, and least commonly in the spinal canal. Spinal epidural inflammatory pseudotumor is a rarely reported entity.<br />Case Description: We report a patient who presented with paraplegia, in whom a spinal epidural mass was diagnosed as an inflammatory pseudotumor after surgical excision followed by histopathology.<br />Conclusions: It was a radiologic dilemma; thus, complete excision was required for diagnosis and a better outcome.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
