Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, low grade
- Radiologic Findings
- Chest radiograph showed soft tissue mass in right paraspinal area. Contrast-enhanced CT scans show well-defined paraspinal mass with areas of heterogenous enhancement. It contains multiple cystic portions. It extends to epidural space and left paraspinal area and causes destruction and sclerotic change of adjacent T-spine.
MR images show intermediate signal intensity of the mass on T1-weighted image, heterogeneous enhancement after contrast administration, and heterogenous signal intensity on T2-weighted image. MR images also shows destruction of adjacent T-spine.
- Brief Review
- Please refer to Case 185 and 393.
