Distant Metastases of Peripheral Neuroepithelioma Arising from the Cauda Equina
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
An unusual case of the intraspinal peripheral neuroepithelioma arising from the cauda equina is reported. The patient, a 23-year old female, suffered from low back pain with radiation to the both legs. Radiologic imaging studies of lumbosacral
spine
showed the intradural extramedullary mass lesion on the cauda equina which was excised surgically, but recurred rapidly. It could be diagnosed by the histopathologic findings. The postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were administered.
But,
she
had lymph node metastases, local invasion and large mass in the lung. We report this rare case with review of the literatures.
