摘　　要：Spinal lipomas are benign tumors that are usually divided into extradural and intradural types. In all, 60% are located intradurally and 40% are located extradurally. The most common spinal lipomas are known to be associated with dysraphism in the lumbosacral region. We present a rare case of a posterior mediastinal, intraspinal, intradural, intramedullary lipoma through a Kovalevsky canal combined with the thilure of multiple segments from T3 to T6 in the thoracic spine.Spinal lipomas are benign tumors that are usually divided into extradural and intradural types.
