A cauda equina „ancient” típusú schwannomája
View through CrossRef
Összefoglaló. A cauda equina daganatai a leggyakrabban lumbagós
panaszokkal jelentkeznek. Általában késői stádiumban ismerik fel őket, mivel
lassan növekednek, az anatómiai környezet tágas, a megjelenő tünetek nem
specifikusak, valamint az érintett betegek többsége fiatal és egyébként
egészséges. Jelen közleményünkben egy ritka variáns, a cauda equinát érintő
„ancient” típusú schwannoma esetének kórtörténetét és kezelését mutatjuk be.
Műtéti ellátás során a daganat totális eltávolítása történt, ezt követően a
beteg panaszai megszűntek. Ezen daganat klinikai kimutatását preoperatív T1-,
T2-súlyozott MRI tette lehetővé, a pontos diagnózist azonban az eltávolított
daganat patológiai szövettani feldolgozása biztosította. Irodalmi áttekintésünk
alapján a cauda equinában ez a szövettani altípusú schwannoma kifejezetten
ritka: nemzetközi szinten 3 ilyen publikált eset jelent meg, magyar nyelvű
közlést a témában azonban nem találtunk. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(5): 195–200.
Summary. Tumors of the cauda equina generally present with lower
back pain. They are usually recognized at a late stage as they grow slowly, the
surrounding anatomical environment is spacious, the symptoms that appear are not
specific, and the majority of the affected patients are young and otherwise
healthy. In this paper, we present the diagnosis and treatment of a young male
patient who has undergone the surgical removal of an ancient schwannoma of the
cauda equina. During the operation, the tumor was completely resected, and
following that the patient’s complaints disappeared. The key point to an
accurate diagnosis of this kind of tumor before the operation was the
appropriate radiological study, i.e., T1-, T2-weighted MRI, and
postoperatively the histological processing of the removed neoplasm. Reviewing
the literature, this pathological type of schwannoma appeared to be extremely
rare in the cauda equina: so far, only three cases have been published
internationally, however, we could not find a single paper in the Hungarian
medical literature on this topic. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(5): 195–200.
