During the first surgical procedure, which did not involve exploration of the intradural space, inflammatory epidural tissue was found. We performed a second operation to remove the tumor that was finally intradural, dural-based and very tough. Imaging studies, surgical findings, and histopathological examinations were used to support the diagnosis. Intradural extramedullary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare entity that has only been described nine times in the literature. Surgery remains the treatment of choice. Although histologically benign, spinal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor can be aggressive and requires a large resection and long-term follow-up of the entire central nervous system with magnetic resonance imaging.
