ABSTRACT

Background: Angiolipomas are benign tumors that appear in adults with special location in the posterior thoracic epidural position.
Objective: To present a case that appeared with a lumbosacral axial trauma where a non-common lesion location was evidenced with no relation among the structures of the spinal canal.
Case presentation: 25-year-old man who fell down, consequently suffered a painful direct trauma to the sacrococcygeal region and increased regional volume, associated with gluteal paresthesias. Radiological studies showed a fracture of the coccyx and presence of a lesion located in the soft tissues, with a rounded, homogeneous, solid aspect, a little more than 50 mm in diameter. Surgical treatment consisted of subperiosteal coccygectomy and macroscopic excision of the mass. Histological study concluded the diagnosis of an angiolipoma.
Conclusions: Angiolipomas are rare tumors with peculiar radiological features, they require high clinical-imaging suspicion for studies and treatment. Total excision is recommended to avoid recurrence and improve prognosis.
