Angiolipomas of the central nervous system are rare tumors (37 cases in the literature) and are mostly located in the spine (95%), rarely in the skull. When they are intraspinal, these masses are extradural in more than 90% of the cases. Angiolipomas are benign tumors containing vascular and mature adipose elements. The clinical symptomatology is non specific, but computed tomography and mostly MRI provide a precise diagnosis. With 2 additional cases and a review of the literature, we define the main characteristics of these tumors.
