Introduction: Spinal angiolipoma is a rare clinical entity and usually presents with clinical signs and symptoms of spinal cord compression. It has two types; non-infiltrating and infiltrating. It is more common in females at the ages of 40-50 and at the mid-thoracic levels.
Case report: We discussed an incidentally diagnosed non-infiltrating angiolipoma in the lower thoracic spine level in a 33-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with severe low back pain after trauma in this case report.
Conclusion: Spinal angiolipoma should not be forgotten in the differential diagnoses of the patients presenting with severe back pain after trauma.
