We reported a case of lumbar spinal stenosis associated with meningioma in thoracic spinal region.A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of muscle weakness of the left lower limb. He was diagnosed as lumbar spinal canal stenosis and underwent laminectomy of lumbar spine. After the laminectomy, his symptoms diminished a little for a short term. But his sumptoms of muscle weakness and sensory disturbance took a turn for the worse gradually.At about 6 months after operation, we performed myelography again and found out thoracic intradural and extramedullary tumor. We excised it and then he was recovered from his symptoms immediately. Histological diagnosis of this tumor was meningioma At present, he lives an active daily life without especial difficulties.
