摘要：

Dermoids are rare midline tumours. When involving the spinal cord they usually present early, in the first decade of life. We present a case of an elderly male with paraparesis. His MRI showed cord expansion at the tip of the conus medullaris; contrast enhancement with Gadolinium revealed a cystic lesion and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a dermoid cyst.
