Intraspinal cord lipoma is an uncommon benign tumour with an incidence of <1% of all spinal cord tumors. It is commonly associated with spinal dysraphism. However, lipoma without spinal canal abnormalities is rare with only a few case reports in the literature. Here, we report a case of intraspinal cord lipoma without spinal dysraphism in a 17-year-old male patient with progressive numbness and spastic paraplegia. Multiplanar MRI revealed a large lipoma in the dorsal spinal cord. The patient underwent surgery and was confirmed histopathologically.
