case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a cystic lesion at D12- L1 with contrast enhancement of the wall. [Figures 1 and 2] Pre operative differential diagnosis included cystic variant of astroctytoma, ependymoma, neurofibroma, abscess or parasitic cyst.

case_images: Histopathology revealed tissue lined by ciliated columnar cells and goblet cells with focal mucin secretion resting on fibro-collagenous base suggestive of enterogenous cyst. [Figure 4] At post operative period of one year, he is totally asymptomatic.
