Primary intraosseous sacral paraganglioma is a rare case of location for spinal paragangliomas, which generally manifest as intradural extramedullary tumors of the cauda equina region. The diagnosis can be elusive considering the rarity of sacral paragangliomas. The clinical importance of recognizing this relatively benign tumor cannot be overemphasized as the outcome, extent of surgery and management differs significantly from other common bony sacral tumors which are generally malignant. We report a rare case of sacral paraganglioma that was diagnosed only after histopathological examination, along with a relevant review of the literature.
原发性骶骨副神经节瘤是一种罕见的脊柱副神经节瘤位置，通常表现为马尾区硬脊膜外髓内肿瘤。考虑到骶骨副神经节瘤的罕见性，诊断可能难以捉摸。认识到这种相对良性肿瘤的临床重要性怎么强调都不为过，因为其结果、手术范围和管理与其他常见的通常为恶性的骶骨骨肿瘤有很大的不同。我们报告了一例罕见的骶骨副神经节瘤病例，仅在组织病理学检查后才得到诊断，并对相关文献进行了回顾。
