چکیده
Intramedullary epidermoid cysts of the spinal cord are rare tumors. They are slow-growing tumors. We report a case of a 74-year-old patient presenting with thoracic spinal cord compression syndrome (T11-12). The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intramedullary cystic mass. It demonstrated low signal intensity on T1and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, with minimal peripheral enhancement following intravenous gadolinium diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic-acid (Gd-DTPA) administration. After surgical removal of the tumor, the pathology confirmed the diagnosis of spinal epidermoid cyst.

We here present the antenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of mesoblastic nephroma in a fetus. A profitable design using single-shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) MRI sequence was applied for recognition of the abdominal mass with renal origin in the mobile fetus. SSFSE could significantly shorten the scanning time, therefore we got satisfactory images without fetal sedation. The image fi...

Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) represents a spectrum of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven lymphoid proliferation related to immunosuppressive therapy. We here report a case of a 21-year-old male with PTLD of liver and renal allograft simultaneously after renal transplantation. MRI depicted solid mass lesions, which were hypointense on T1-weighted images and heterogeneousl...

متن کاملA Rare Intramedullary Epidermoid Cyst of the Thoracic Spinal Cord: Case Report and Review of Literature
Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition. It constitutes of only 0.6-1.1% of all spinal tumors. When they occur, the typical location is in the subdural, extramedullary space of the lumbo-sacral region.We report a forty-two -year-old female who presented with left extremity radicular pain and myelopathy. MRI of the thoracic spine,illustrated a focal fusiform enlargement of the tho...
