Abstract

|
|
|
Carcinoid or neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are slow-growing neoplasms originating from neuroendocrine cells. The central nervous system (CNS) involvement of carcinoid tumor, not only metastasis to CNS or primary originated, is reported rarely. This study presented a case of a primary spinal intradural extramedullary carcinoid tumor accompanied by urinary incontinence. CNS involvement in carcinoid tumors is rarely reported, and its intradural spinal metastasis or primary spinal NET is extremely rare. A 63-year-old woman came to hospital with urinary incontinence, and a 2.5-cm-sized intradural extramedullary mass was found at the lumbosacral level on spinal magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent L5-S2 laminectomy to remove the intradural extramedullary mass at the L5-S1 level. The patient recovered without complications, and there was progress in urinary incontinence. The patient did not complain of urinary incontinence after discharge, and no evidence of recurrence was observed after a 1-year follow-up.
