Sumario:Spinal epidermoid tumors are rare tumors with typical symptoms including low back pain, radiculopathy, weakness, sensory disturbances, and bowel/bladder dysfunction. Here we present a rare case of a spinal epidermoid tumor in a 44-year-old female patient with a previous surgical history of epidural anesthesia with two cesarean sections. Our report aims to highlight the rare development of this type of tumor following epidural anesthesia, a routine part of labor management.
