Ligamentum flavum hematoma in the lumbar spine mimicking spinal tumor: A case report and review of the literature

Liagmentum flavum hematoma (LFH) is a rare cause of radiculopathy and low back pain, sharing similar symptomatology with disc herniation. It predominantly affects the lumbar thoracic spine. The underlying mechanism of LFH remains unclear; however, surgical removal of the hematoma has consistently de...

description Liagmentum flavum hematoma (LFH) is a rare cause of radiculopathy and low back pain, sharing similar symptomatology with disc herniation. It predominantly affects the lumbar thoracic spine. The underlying mechanism of LFH remains unclear; however, surgical removal of the hematoma has consistently demonstrated excellent outcomes. The objective of this case report is to emphasize the significance of diagnosing LFH. We present a surgically confirmed lumbar LFH case that mimicked a lumbar tumor, highlighting the challenges encountered during diagnosis and subsequent management.
