Intradural extramedullary Ewing tumor of the lumbar spine
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 38-year-old man presented with a highly symptomatic lumbar intradural extramedullary tumor. MRI features strongly suggested a myxopapillary ependymoma, with a possible drop metastasis. No filum terminale or spinal-cord attachment to the tumor was seen intraoperatively. Histopathology, surprisingly, indicated a malignant round-cell tumor, strongly CD 99-positive, and FISH indicated a rearranged ESWR1 locus. A diagnosis of Ewing tumor (ET) was made. Only eight cases in the lumbar region have been previously reported.

Acquired spinal epidermoid cysts are mostly caused by iatrogenic procedures, such as lumbar puncture, and the majority of acquired spinal epidermoid cysts have been reported below the L1 level, because lumbar puncture is usually performed ...
