We present a 39-year-old man with tumour of the eighth thoracic vertebra, causing compression of the spinal cord. The tumour proved to be a primary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of bone, an uncommon neoplasm; to our knowledge this is the first report of primary LMS in the spine. The lesion was documented by plain radiography, myelography, CT, MRI and digital subtraction angiography. These investigations did help to focus on the differential diagnosis and demonstrated the extent of the bony lesion, the findings were nonspecific, and the correct diagnosis was established by pathological examination.
我们报告一例39岁男性，患有第八胸椎肿瘤，导致脊髓受压。该肿瘤经证实为原发性骨平滑肌肉瘤（LMS），这是一种罕见的肿瘤；据我们所知，这是脊柱原发性LMS的首例报告。通过X线平片、脊髓造影、CT、MRI和数字减影血管造影对病变进行了记录。这些检查确实有助于明确鉴别诊断并显示骨病变的范围，但其结果是非特异性的，最终通过病理检查确立了正确诊断。
