Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chondromas are benign tumors originating from cartilaginous structures. Chondromas located on the spine are rare. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who complained of back pain and right lower extremity radiating pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an oval-shaped mass-like lesion in the epidural space at the right foraminal zone on L2-3. The mass had intermediate signal intensity on T1- and T2- weighted images. She underwent surgical tumor removal and the symptoms gradually improved. The mass lesion was confirmed by histopathological examination as a chondroma. We report a rare case of lumbar spinal chondroma accompanied by radicular symptoms.
