We report here a case of a recurrent enterogenous cyst in the lumbar spinal canal. A24-yearold woman presented with lower back and left radicular leg pain for 1 year. She had been operated on for mass lesion at the same level 10 years ago. Lumbar spine MRI showed a large intradural cyst at L2. Other congenital abnormalities were absent. The cyst was subtotally removed and the patient recovered well. Pathological examination revealed that the lesion was a typical enterogenous cyst. Keywords : Enterogenous cyst, Neuroenteric cyst, Spinal cord
