Myelopathy in Neurocutatneous Melanosis

111.1 Definition

The neural crest is the common embryonic origin of both the melanotic cells of the skin and the letomeninges. According to these authors neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a congenital syndrome characterized by the development of congenital melanocytic naevi and benign or malignant melanotic tumors of the CNS. NCM is considered a rare complication of giant congenital meano-cytic-naevus (GCMN).

111.2 Incidence

The risk of developing begnin or malignant melanotic tumors in carries of GCMN is unknown; just over 100 cases were reported (2001). Involvement of the brain will not be discussed. Myelopathy is the subject of this presentation.

111.3 Etiology

NCM is thought to be due to an error in the embryogenesis of the embryological neuroectoderm.

111.4 Pathology

There is melanotic pigmentation of the spinal arachnoid and adjacent leptomenin­ges. Cord compression is usually due to development of melanotic arachnoid cyst or to direct infi ltration or syringomyelia. The chance of malignant progression and

prognosis are unknown. Twenty percent of cases show or display widespread pig­mentation and thickening of the full length of the spinal cord meninges. Malignant transformation in the CNS is estimated to be up to 50 %.

111.5 Clinical Picture

Patients with GCMN on the extremities never develop NCM. Posterior axial nevi are more subject to NCM. CNS involvement excluding intracranial lesions may be asymptomatic. Cord compression or infi ltration will give the picture of myelopathy. Radicular syndrome is also common.

111.6 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on:
1. Congenital nevi
2. Neurological fi ndings
3. MRI: for symptomatic patients and all asymptomatic patients with large multiple
lesions of the head and neck or lesions of the posterior midline.

111.7 Management

Close observation of these lesions regularly by the dermatologist. There is no ther­apy for leptomeningial melanotic changes. Space occupying lesions may be approached neurosurgically.

Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma

112.1 Definition

This is an anaplastic dendro-glimoa of the spinal cord secondary to primary lesion of the brain.

112.2 Incidence

According to Mcbryde et al. less than ten cases have been reported in world litera­ture. Oligodendroglimoa accout for 5 % of all primary brain tumors and 30 % for all intracranial glioma

112.3 Etiology

The causative factor(s) of this tumor are not known.

112.4 Pathology

The primary lesion brain lesion shows:
• Macroscopically, hemorrhages cystic formation and calcifi cation
• Microscopically, tumor cells are homogeneous and have a characteristic “fried
egg” appearance, showing a clear perinuclear halo surrounding a central nucleus
as a result of fi xation artifact.
Abstracted from Mcbryde et al. ( 2003 )
376
This typical appearance is less common in anaplastic oligodendroglioma. The neoplastic cells may be in lobules, separated by branching vessels, forming a “chicken wire” pattern, with mucinous accumulation may be noted. The anaplastic form shows mitosis, endothelial proliferation, mitotic activity and necrosis. Metastases of oligodendrogliomas are rare due to:
• Blood brain barrier
• Absence of lymphatics in the brain
• Short survival of the patients
Immunohistochemistry is positive for glial fi brillary acidic protein and S100. Details of immunohistochemistry can be seen in Choon and Raepke. Only one case had intramedullary metastasis and the rest had meningeal involvement. It is believed that tumor cells reach the spinal cord via the CSF by the ependymal epithemlium or the pia mater.

112.5 Clinical Picture

A previous history of brain oligodendroglioma operated upon and metastasis to the spinal cord may be due to CSF leakage during surgery. Spinal metastasis in the cases recurrence occurred from 3 months to 6 years after initial brain surgery. Tumors were grade 2 or 3. The clinical picture is that of paraparesis.

112.6 Diagnosis

Diagnosis based on:
1. History of brain surgery and pathological report
MRI, CT scan, CSF cytology are all performed

112.7 Management

Surgery consists of:
1. Debulking or excision
The patient received radiotherapy; the same treatment is applied to epidural ana­plastic oligodendroglioma.

Updates

Yuh et al. (2015)
Primary spinal cord oligodendrogliomas are rare tumors comprising two percent of all spinal cord tumors. Although a treatment guideline has yet to be established, maximal surgical resection is primary in the treatment of spinal cord oligodendro­gliomas. Adjuvant radiotherapy has remained controversial, and it is unclear whether chemotherapy adds any benefi t. In this case report, the authors present a 24-year-old male who had a 7-year history of left leg weakness and a radiating pain in both legs. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed an intramedullary mass at the T4-T8 level. He underwent subtotal removal of the tumor and pathologic diag­nosis revealed a WHO grade IIoligodendroglioma. The patient was treated with radiotherapy postoperatively and followed up with MRI annually. Clinical and radiological status of the patient had been stationary for 4 years after the surgery. The 5-year follow-up MRI showed an increase in the size and extent of the residual tumor. Despite radiological progression, considering that symptoms and the perfor­mance status of the patient had remained unchanged, further treatment has not been performed. Given the clinical outcome of this patient, close observation after subto­tal removal with adjuvant radiotherapy is one of the acceptable treatment options for WHO grade II spinal cord oligodendrogliomas.

Oncocytoma in Melanocytoma

113.1 Definition

This is a benign neoplasm composed predominantly of monotonous sheets of plump oncocytes. By electron microscopy, the cytoplasm of the oncocyte is packed full with mitochondria. Focal areas of the tumor contain spindle cells with abundant intracytoplasmic granular deposits of brown melanin pigment that contains melanosomes.

113.2 Incidence

This is the fi rst case described by Gelmen et al. Oncocytoma is extremely rare in the CNS. Oncocytic variant of meningioma has been described in six cases and one malignant spinal paraganglioma.

113.3 Etiology

The majority of oncocytomas probably have an epithelial origin. Because the preva­lence of oncocytoma increases with age it is widely accepted that oncocytomas are the result of an aberrant metaplasia occurring during cell senescence.

113.4 Pathology

Oncocytomas are benign neoplasms. They occur most commonly in the kidney. They may appear in neoplasms as single cells or as a substantial portion of the tumor or ma constitute the whole tumor. Oncocytic transformation of a tumor of over 50 % then it is labeled as oncocytoma.

113.5 Histopathology

Sheets of plump polygonal cells containing abundant granular eosinophilic cyto­plasm many areas around the blood vessels, spindle cells with intracytoplasmic granules, which by Fontana-Masson technique proved to be melanin; more detailed description of the histology and histochemistry can be seen in the original work of Gelman et al. 2000 .

113.6 Clinical Picture

The patient described is a 71-year-old female who had episodes of lower back pain for 28 years. This extended to the legs and became worse, not responding to analge­sics, urinary and fecal incontinence. The back pain then radiated to the buttocks and thighs, mild facial paresis. The refl exes were absent.

113.7 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on the following criteria:
1. Clinical history
2. MRI: intracanalicular (medullary) mass from L3 to S1.

113.8 Management

Laminectomy L3-L5 revealed the mass in the cord; removal by microsurgical tech­nique en bloc . Recovery was uneventful and no recurrence 4 years later

Osteosarcoma

114.1 Definition

Osteosarcoma is the most common nonhemtalogica primary malignancy of bone and is commonly reported in the appendicular skeleton.

114.2 Incidence

Primary osteosarcoma of the vertebral column is rare. Primary vertebral osteosar­coma (PVOS) accounts for 4 % of all osteosarcoma. Females outnumbered males. The age 8–80 years (mean 34.5 years); the cervical spine is the least affected; the site of origin arises most commonly from the posterior elements and involved the body of the vertebra. The spinal canal is involved in 84 % of reported cases.

114.3 Pathology

The tumor shows pleomorphic cells with abundant cytoplasm and atypical nuclei with mitosis. Osteoblastic giant cells are encountered with osteoid and fi brocollag­enous tissue. The tumor may be osteoblastic or osteolytic.

114.4 Clinical Picture

The case reported was a 60-year-old female had 3 week history of the lower limbs and sphincteric disturbances. No history of fever nor trauma. Neurological exam showed upper limbs normal proximally but weak grip. Lower limbs were 2/5, deep

tendon refl ex of the lower limbs were brisk, Babinski’s was positive. Sensory level was T2, hematology was normal.

114.5 Diagnosis

Diagnosis based on:
1. MRI shows destruction of vertebral bodies C7-T1 and cord compression with the
tumor around. The paravertebral muscles were infi ltration. The posterior ele-
ments were destroyed by the tumor. The tumor was fi rm and somewhat
vascular.

114.6 Management

Laminectomy at C7 and T1 by removing the tumor with the posterior elements and near total decompression was achieved. Anterior extension was noticed and but nothing was done on the vertebral bodies. There was no subdural involvement. Post-op radio-chemotherapy was given. Confi rmed primary osteosarcoma, meta­static tumor were ruled out by immunohistochemical studies. Five months post-op she gained motor power 4/5 and was ambulatory with one cane.

U p d a t e

Abstract from Dekutoski et al. (2016)
Primary spinal osteosarcomas are rare and aggressive neoplasms. Poor outcomes can occur, as obtaining marginal margins is technically demanding; further Enneking-appropriate en bloc resection can have signifi cant morbidity. The goal of this study is to identify prognostic variables for local recurrence and mortality in surgically treated patients diagnosed with a primary osteosarcoma of the spine. A multicenter ambispective database of surgically treated patients with primary spine osteosarcomas was developed by AOSpine Knowledge Forum Tumor. Patient demographic, diagnosis, treatment, perioperative morbidity, local recurrence, and cross-sectional survival data were collected. Tumors were classifi ed in 2 cohorts: Enneking appropriate (EA) and Enneking inappropriate (EI), as defi ned by pathol­ogy margin matching Enneking-recommended surgical margins. Prognostic vari­ables were analyzed in reference to local recurrence and survival. Between 1987 and 2012, 58 patients (32 female patients) underwent surgical treatment for primary spinal osteosarcoma. Patients were followed for a mean period of 3.5 ± 3.5 years (range 0.5 days to 14.3 years). The median survival for the entire cohort was
6.7 years postoperative. Twenty-four (41 %) patients died, and 17 (30 %) patients suffered a local recurrence, 10 (59 %) of whom died. Twenty-nine (53 %) patients underwent EA resection while 26 (47 %) patients underwent EI resection with a

postoperative median survival of 6.8 and 3.7 years, respectively (p = 0.048). EI patients had a higher rate of local recurrence than EA patients (p = 0.001). Patient age, previous surgery, biopsy type, tumor size, spine level, and chemotherapy tim­ing did not signifi cantly infl uence recurrence and survival. Osteosarcoma of the spine presents a signifi cant challenge, and most patients die in spite of aggressive surgery. There is a signifi cant decrease in recurrence and an increase in survival with en bloc resection (EA) when compared with intralesional resection (EI). The effect of adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapeutics, as well as method of biopsy, requires further exploration.
