Radiol Case Rep. 2020 Apr 7;15(6):709-711. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2020.02.038. eCollection 2020 Jun.

Abstract

Spinal solitary fibrous tumors are extremely rare neoplasms and of those, intradural extramedullary location is even rarer. A 64-year-old male presented to the emergency department with worsening right leg pain over 1 month. Whole spine magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed mass with low T1 and markedly low T2 signal intensity at the level of T1-2. Spine computed tomography showed no evidence of calcification or acute hemorrhage. Surgical removal was performed and the final diagnosis was intradural extramedullary solitary fibrous tumor.
