Abstract

Most spinal meningiomas have an intradural or partly extradural location. The meningothelial origin is the most common pathologic type of spinal meningioma. Pure extradural spinal meningiomas are not common, and lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma (LPRM) is very rare. We report a case of isolated extradural spinal meningioma in the thoracic spine that was pathologically confirmed as LPRM.

대부분의 척수 수막종은 경막 내에 위치하거나 부분적으로 경막 외에 위치한다. 척수 수막종의 가장 흔한 병리학적 유형은 수막세포종 기원이다. 온전하게 경막 외에 위치한 척수 수막종은 드물며 림프구 형질세포 과다형 수막종은 매우 드문 유형이다. 우리는 병리학적으로 확진된 흉추에서 발생한 경막 외 척수 림프구 형질세포 과다형 수막종의 자기공명영상과 컴퓨터단층촬영 영상의 소견을 소개하고자 한다.
