Paciniolipoma in congenital spinal dysraphism

J Neurosurg Pediatr. 2012 Mar;9(3):280-2. doi: 10.3171/2011.12.PEDS11104.

Abstract

The authors describe a case in which an intradural lipoma, causing tethering of the cord, was found on histological examination to exhibit fully differentiated mature pacinian corpuscles throughout. There are only 3 reports in the literature describing this rare tumor, and the authors use the term "paciniolipoma" to refer to it.
