²Pamukkale Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Patoloji Anabilim Dalı, Denizli, Türkiye Our aim was to present a rare case with dermoid and epidermoid tumors located intradurally and to discuss treatment methods. A 14-yearold male presented left leg pain and urinary and fecal incontinence. His history revealed a meningomyelocele operation when he was 3 months old. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a dermal sinus tract and 2 intradural extramedullary mass lesions at the S1-2 levels. S1-S2 total laminectomy together with dermal sinus tract and total mass excision was performed. Histopathology evaluation of the excised masses showed one mass to be a dermoid and the other an epidermoid tumor. No complications were observed on the follow-up and the fecal and urinary incontinence recovered. He was discharged on the seventh postoperative day.
