Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of microsurgery through hemilaminectomy approach on extramedullary spinal tumor. Methods: Hemilaminectomy was performed on 45 patients with extramedullary spinal tumor. Of the 45 patients, 35 had intradural extramedullary spinal tumors and 10 dumbbell-shaped spinal tumors.

Multiple primary tumors in a single patient are relatively rare when four or more distinct lesions are considered. Herein, we report a case of woman with four different primary tumors: meningioma, renal angiomyolipoma, spinal ependymoma and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. There was no family history and hereditary syndrome. The genetic analysis was completely normal. To best of our knowledge, t...

Teratoma is a type of multipotential cell tumor, which includes a mixture of two or three germinal layers of ectodermis, endodermis, and mesodermis. Although neonatal sacrococcygeal teratoma has been frequently reported, its occurrence in older age is not common. In this study, we report a rare case of spinal intradural mature cystic teratoma in a 16-year-old male, emphasizing on considering th...
