Costal Osteochondroma Causing Compression Myelopathy

94.1 Definition

Osteochondroma may be a part of hereditary multiple exostosis (HME). It is rare for it to invade the spinal canal to cause compression myelopathy.

94.2 Incidence

Tang et al reported a case and review the cases from the literature; they found a total fi ve cases, the male to female ratio being 2:3, and ranging in age 13–21.

94.3 Etiology

HME is a hereditary disease, which is transmitted as autosomal dominant trait.

94.4 Pathology

The tumor is benign and it consists of a bony part and a cartilaginous cap. Osteochondromas constitute almost half of all benign tumors; the incidence of costal osteochondroma had been estimated at 3 %; however, this fi gure may be underesti­mated, as costal osteochondromas are usually asymptomatic.

94.5 Clinical Picture

Small tumors are usually asymptomatic, bigger tumors can cause pain and swelling. Extension into the spinal canal causes compression myelopathy, manifested by motor and sensory compromise and sphincter disturbances.

94.6 Diagnosis

Costal osteochondromas are confi rmed by local exam of the osseous mass and the neurological signs. Plain radiography does not show the cartilage cap to the tumor. The intraspinous component of the tumor, the corticomedullary continuity between the rib and the tumor, and the continuity between the intraspinous and extraspinous components can only be detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Computed tomography (CT) scan can show the same, however cannot reliably detect the carti­lage cap if it is less than 25 mm. CT myelography will demonstrate a block at the level of invasion, however the size of the intraspinal tumor may be underestimated.

94.7 Management

Surgery is done under general anesthesia and incision is done over the rib tumor and the adjoining spinal cord. The rib tumor is dissected towards the spine. A laminec­tomy is done and may require facetectomy to give better exposure. The dura is mobilized and the intraspinal component is traced to the intervertebral formina; the tumor is removed piecemeal to accomplish a complete decompression of the cord. There is no recurrence if it is completely removed.

Update

Abstract from Liu et al., 2013
We report the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with kyphosis resulting from a giant symptomatic costal osteochondromaaround the left fourth rib. The osteochondroma on the left side of the back was 56 cm × 47 cm × 33 cm and was painful. The size and growth of the tumor suggested a malignant transformation of a large costal osteochondroma. Multiple osteochondromas were also found on the legs. The patient’s family history revealed hereditary characteristics. This patient was clinically diagnosed as a case of multiple familial osteochondromatosis. Complete removal of the tumor relieved the symptoms, and histopathologic examination con­fi rmed malignant transformation of chondrosarcoma. There was no recurrence after 16 months of follow-up.

Cutaneous Adenocystic Carcinoma

95.1 Definition

Adenocystic carcinoma is a malignant tumor, which arises from the major and accessory salivary glands. Cutaneous involvement may result from direct infi ltra­tion from salivary glands. Cutaneous adenocystic carcinoma (CACC) remote site of the salivary glands is very rare.

95.2 Incidence

The fi rst and only case of CACC of the lumbar skin causing compression myelopa­thy by direct infi ltration was reported by Gelber-González et al.

95.3 Etiology

Compression myelopathy is caused by direct spread of CACC. The tumor is locally invasive and may metastasize to the lungs, spine, and local lymph nodes.

95.4 Pathology

The tumor cells are arranged in tubular cribriform and adenoidal formation pat­tern, some have lumens and others are solid. The lumens are fi lled with mucinous secretions or fi lled with debris or they may be empty. The cells are monomorphic, with focal atypia and mitotic fi gures. The stroma is fi brous with mucinous changes.

The other sites from which this type of tumor may arise e.g., lachrymal glands, the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses, the breast, the intestinal and genital tracts, and the bronchus.

95.5 Clinical Picture

The tumor usually arises in the elderly forming a cutaneous mass. In this reported case it was in the lumbar region invaded the spinal cord and caused lumbar and radicular pain for 5 year duration. Eventually the patient developed paraparesis with spasticity and sphincter dysfunction. The mass about two inches and was fi xed in situ.

95.6 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on the following criteria:
• Clinical fi ndings include: mass infi ltration
• Neurological defi cit
• Axial CT: L1 and L2 showed a voluminous isodense mass that extended subcu-
taneously to the spinal canal, occupying it and destroying the laminae and one
pedicle. Severe ventral compression of the conus was noted.
• MRI: A subcutaneous isosignal intensive mass extending to the lumbar epidural
space and compressing the conus.
• Tissue biopsy

95.7 Management

• Complete excision of the tumor down to the dura
• Post-operative radiation therapy: prevent recurrence
• Post-operative chemotherapy: not established however tumors consisting of tubu-
lar pattern of cells respond better than those made of sheets or solid pattern.

Myelopathy due to Intraspinal Desmoid Tumor

96.1 Definition

Desmoid tumor (sporadic aggressive fi bromatosis) is a fi broproliferative tumor that has benign histologic features and does not metastasize. However, the tumor is locally invasive, has aggressive clinical behavior and often recurs after excision.

96.2 Incidence

The tumor is rare, estimated incidence is 2–4 per million population per year. Approximately 50 % occur in abdominal wall, mostly in women at third and forth decades of life, possibly related to hormone during child bearing years. Thirty-fi ve percent occur in the limbs, head, and neck. At age less than 15 years, most of the tumors are extra-abdominal. There is only one case causing myelopathy recorded by Shindle et al.

96.3 Etiology

No know causative factors. Hormonal relationship is not defi nitive. Female to male ratio is 5:2; usually during or after pregnancy and normally in the third to fi fth decade. The tumor arises from the connective tissues of the muscle and overlying fascia or aponeurosis.

96.4 Pathology

The tumor is locally aggressive and does not metastasize. It consists of spindle cells in loose collagenous matrix, having nuclei. Immunohistochemical stain for the S100 pro­tein is negative and there is no mitosis. It tends to recur locally. In the case of myelopa­thy, the desmoid is paraspinal and causes scoliosis, and had intraspinous extension causing compression myelopathy resulting in paraplegia in 12-year-old girl

96.5 Clinical Picture

This is a unique case from which clinical data are abbreviated:
A 12-year-old girl premenarchal, who had back pain and spasms of the legs fol-
lowed by numbness and weakness followed by paresis and sensory level at T1
and sacral sparing. The refl exes were exaggerated and Babinski’s sign was posi-
tive. Radiography of the spine showed scoliosis 70° thoracolumbar region. CT
with IV contrast showed a mass 11 cm in diameter in the left hemothorax extend-
ing from the cranium to the left kidney and was invading the neighboring verte-
bra. MRI showed the mass invading the spinal canal and compressing the spinal
cord. MRI is very important to defi ne tumor border. Surgery was done post-
decompression intralesional anterior excision and anterior fusion. In a second
stage T9-T10 laminectomy was done and intraspinal part of the tumor was deb-
ulked down to the dura. The wound was closed. The patient was put in right lat-
eral decubitus and through a T7 thoracotomy a tumor 5 × 10 cm, was found
subpleurally and wrapping around the ventral body. The tumor was completely
removed and anterior fusion conducted. The pathology showed typical desmoids.
Two weeks later, a spinal fusion was done for the scoliosis, using rods and bone
graph. Neurologic recovery progressed; she had radiotherapy 50.4 Gy. Nine
years later she was free from recurrence.

96.6 Management

• Surgery: wide resection
• Wide resection followed by radiation when the margin is not secure
• In the pediatric population, radiation is a hazard to growth centers are followed
by contractures and potentially causative of malignancy
• Chemotherapy may be useful adjuvant and is indicated in children with inoper-
able tumor and in progressive tumors is slow its growth until the child reaches
bone maturity and the risk of irradiation is decreased
• Surgery and close observation at 2–3 months
96 Myelopathy due to Intraspinal Desmoid Tumor
321
The procedure followed by Shindle et al:
• Posterior decompression
• Anterior resection
• Anterior spinal function to correct deformity
• Post-op radiation for 5 weeks
The tumor is slow growing and extensive in growth, usually painless, giving it a chance to invade the spinal canal and causing myelopathy.

Intramedullary Ectopic Adrenal Cortical Adenoma

97.1 Definition

Myelopathy secondary to ectopic adrenal cortical neoplasm.

97.2 Incidence

Cassarino et al. ( 2004 ), report the fi rst male case of intramedullary adenoma with oncocytic features. Two cases of extramedullary oncocytic spinal tumors occurring in females has been previously been reported.

97.3 Etiology

Ectopic adrenal cortical neoplasms are extremely rare and only a few cases have involved the central nervous system (CNS). Etiology is unknown. According to Cassarino et al., The term Oncocytoma was fi rst coined by Hamperl in 1931; onco- cytomas have been described in the kidney, adrenals, thyroid, and salivary glands, among other locations. Adrenal cortical oncocytomas have rarely been demon­strated outside of the adrenals, including examples in the retroperitoneum, spinal nerve roots, and subdural space. Oncocytic tumors involving the CNS are highly unusual, although oncocytic meningiomas and oncocytic paragangliomas of the spi­nal cord and cauda equina have been described.

97.4 Pathology

To the naked eye the tumor has a tan to brown color; microscopically the tumor is composed of sheets and large nests of bland polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm. Non-atypical cells were found, but no necrosis identi­fi ed. Cassarino et al., performed electron microscopy (EM) on material collected from paraffi n-embedded tissue showed numerous mitochondria with tubular and lamelli­form cristae, stacks of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lipid vacuoles, and lipofuscin— all consistent with adrenocortical cell origin. In the immunohistochemical (IMHC) confi rmation, the cells were positive for inhibin, melan-A, and synaptophysin, and negative for GFAP, EMA, cytokeratins, S-100, HMB-45, and chromogranin.

97.5 Clinical Picture

Intramedullary neoplasm manifested by pain followed by hormonal changes. The patient presented with weakness of the lower limbs, ambulatory loss, paresthesias of the feet, and sphincter dysfunction. There was analgesia, anesthesia, increased refl exes and spasticity on the neurological exam.

97.6 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on:
• Patient history
• Clinical exam, hormonal changes.
• Immunohistochemical testing: see Pathology
• Laboratory abnormalities: CSF high cellularity, low glucose, high protien
CT was inconclusive.

97.7 Management

In the case presented blockade of the dye column at the conus medullaris level with obliteration of sacral nerve roots on lumbosacral myelogram. Surgery was performed and an intramedullary tumor was identifi ed and removed in pieces. The patient is cur­rently doing well with no evidence of recurrent disease approximately 1 year later.
