Plexiform schwannomas (PSs) are rare. Here, we describe the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of a 17-year-old male presenting with a T1-T4 intradural extramedullary (IDEM).
A 17-year-old male presented with back pain and pain radiating down both legs. The thoracic magnetic resonance revealed a left-sided T1-T4 IDEM mass. The patient underwent a T2-T4 laminectomy for gross total tumor excision, followed by posterior fusion. Immunohistochemical examination revealed S100 positivity, supporting the diagnosis of PS.
IDEM PSs are rare, may be readily diagnosed with MR, and can be successfully resected.
丛状神经鞘瘤（PSs）较为罕见。在此，我们描述一名17岁男性出现T1 - T4节段硬膜内髓外（IDEM）病变的临床特征、诊断、治疗及预后情况。
一名17岁男性出现背痛及双下肢放射性疼痛。胸椎磁共振成像显示左侧T1 - T4节段硬膜内髓外肿块。患者接受了T2 - T4椎板切除术以实现肿瘤全切，随后进行了后路融合术。免疫组化检查显示S100阳性，支持PS的诊断。
硬膜内髓外丛状神经鞘瘤罕见，磁共振成像可轻易诊断，且能成功切除。
