A rare case of a 43-year-old male with chronic epigastric com- plaints and atypical diffuse osseous pain for two years, which were finally found to be caused by a benign thoracic spinal tumor (lipo- ma) and was successfully treated by neurosurgical resection, is presented. At three years follow-up postoperatively he remains completely asymptomatic. This report discusses the case and the potential pathophysiology of the patient's symptoms.
