Neural fibrolipoma is a benign tumor that most frequently infiltrates the median nerve. The authors describe a patient with spinal cord compression syndrome caused by a neural fibrolipoma. The tumor originated in the thoracic nerve at the T6–7 extradural level in the left conjugate foramen and extended into the thoracic cavity. Total removal was achieved by a combined posterior and costotransversectomy approach. Postoperatively, the patient's spinal cord compression syndrome resolved. No tumor recurrence has been observed in medium-term follow-up. This is the second case of an extradural spinal neural fibrolipoma to be reported in the literature.
