Abstract

Objective: Mullerian choristoma associated with spinal dysraphism is one of the rare cases.


Case: We present a case of heterotopic fallopian tube tissue found in an extradural intra-extravertebral lipoma. The patient, a 19-year-old woman, complained of swelling and pain in her lower back. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed spina bifida occulta at L3, a tethered cord, and an L3 lipoma. A L3-L4 laminectomy was performed, and the lipoma was removed. Histological examination revealed the presence of ectopic fallopian tube tissue within the lipoma.
