Extraosseous Benign Notochordal Cell Tumor Originating in the Lung
Benign notochordal cell tumors (BNCTs) are tumors originating in the axial skeleton, where chordomas occur. Although very rare, some cases of extraosseous chordoma, such as in the soft tissue and lungs, have been reported. We report a case of a primary tumor showing the notochordal characteristics of BNCTs within the axial skeleton.An asymptomatic 57-year-old woman presented with an abnormal sh...
متن کاملMalignant Small Round Cell Tumor Originating In The Thoracopulmonary Region " Askin Tumor "
SUMMARY Askin tumor is a peripheral neuroepithelioma originating in chest wall. It is a very aggressive tumor and with Ewing's sarcoma are the most frequent tumors of chest wall. The tumor is composed of small round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets with pseudorossette formation. Some times around vessels, glycogen staining is some times positive in H & E but always positive in E.M. In E.M be...
متن کاملBenign notochordal cell tumour: case report.
A 56 year-old woman, without antecedents, was examined for chronic lumbago. The X-rays of the lumbar vertebrae were normal. A CT scan and then an MRI were carried out. The lumbar spine CT scan (Fig. 1) revealed a median posterior corporeal lesion on L5 of 36 mm in diameter. It was compressed, irregular and had several lytic zones. In MRI, the lesion (Fig. 2) was in hypersignal T2, hyposignal T1...
متن کاملDiagnosis of benign notochordal cell tumor of the spine: is a biopsy necessary?
Benign notochordal cell tumor is a benign intraosseous lesion, demonstrates characteristic imaging features. The lesion demonstrates low-signal intensity in T1-weighted images, high-signal intensity in T2-weighted images, and no enhancement with contrast medium in MRI and slight osteosclerosis in CT. If typical imaging findings are identified, biopsy is not necessary.
متن کاملDifficulty distinguishing benign notochordal cell tumor from chordoma further suggests a link between them
BACKGROUND Much discussion about benign notochordal cell tissue in vertebrae has centered on the nature of its relationship, if any, to chordoma. Often referred to as benign notochordal cell tumors (BNCTs), these lesions have unique morphological features, however, differentiating between notochordal cells in discs, BNCT, and chordoma can be difficult. They are described as radiologically disti...
