STUDY DESIGN: A case report is presented. OBJECTIVES: To present a very rare case of orally ingested sex hormone pills inducing nondurally attached @entity1653 in the lumbosacral region. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: @entity1653 are known to enlarge in response to female sex hormones. At this writing, few cases of nondurally based @entity1653 have been reported. Moreover, @entity1653 in the lumbosacral region are very rare. @entity1653 predominantly arise in the fourth to sixth decades of life and are more common in @entity1 . METHODS: The @entity1 was a 20-year-old @entity1 . She had undergone oral sex @entity134 therapy for long-term @entity2589 . The @entity1 complained of intolerable lumbago and numbness in her buttocks. Nonopioid analgesics did not relieve her @entity158 , and she was unable to walk without the aid of a walker. Radiography disclosed a @entity5 . RESULTS: Complete @entity5 was performed. The @entity5 was not adherent to the dura, and its appearance was that of a typical @entity808 . However, the pathologic diagnosis was @entity1653 . CONCLUSIONS: The @entity5 in the reported case may have enlarged in response to orally ingested sex @entity134 pills. Nondural @entity1653 are quite uncommon. The gross appearance of the @entity5 during surgery was typical of @entity808 . All the cases reported so far, including the current case, have involved @entity5 located in the lumbosacral region. Care must be taken in the management of @entity5 because @entity5 resembling @entity808 may in fact represent @entity1653 , some subtypes of which possess a high rate of recurrence.
