Dumbbell-type XXXX in the cervical spine of an adult.

Adult cases with isolated @entity149 are very rare. We report a case with dumbbell-type @entity6725 in the cervical spine. A 38-year-old @entity1 presented with moderate @entity1183 of the right ring finger and right little finger and weakness of the right grip. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intra-spinal mass extending into the paravertebral area. The spinal cord was compressed by the lesion, which was isointense with the spinal cord on both T1- and T2-weighted imaging. Homogenous enhancement was observed after @entity2287 administration. These findings favored a preoperative diagnosis of a rare @entity5 , rather than @entity11809 . @entity5 was performed through hemilaminectomy combined with facetectomy between C7 and T1. Histological examination and immunohistochemical testing led to a diagnosis of @entity6725 . Two years after complete resection, MRI showed no recurrence. This appears to represent the first report of dumbbell-type @entity6725 in the cervical spine. Total @entity75 is recommended because of the high potential risk of @entity5 recurrence around the central nervous system.
