Magnetic resonance imaging revealed T8-9 intramedullary mass showing increased signal intensity in both T1-weighted (a), T2-weighted (b) weighted images and contrast enhanced T1-weighted sagital (c), axial (d) weighted images

T8-9 intramedullary mass showing increased signal intensity in both T1- and T2-weighted images [Figure 1]. The patient was operated with a T8-9 laminoplasty and debulking and internal decompression of the tumor was made.
First month control magnetic resonance imaging revealed the rest mass almost the half volume of the preoperative mass (a and b), the 3rd year magnetic resonance imaging revealed the size of the lipoma half of postoperative size (c and d)

The 2nd year MRI revealed the size of the lipoma was spontaneously decreased to almost half of postoperative size and 3rd year was the same as the 2nd year with a mild kyphosis [Figure 2].
