INTRODUCTION: We report the CT and MR findings in a 30-year-old man with extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) involving the left neural foramen at L5-S1 level. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patient was evaluated with preoperative lumbosacral CT and MR imaging and postoperative lumbosacral MR imaging. RESULTS: The lesion was hyperdense on CT, isointense on T1- and T2-weighted MR images, and enhanced homogeneously after intravenous gadolinium injection. With these CT and MR findings, surgery was performed with a presumptive diagnosis of nerve sheath tumor, but the histopathological examination revealed EES. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were planned postoperatively. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates that even in benign looking lesions in a neuroforamen one can never exclude malignancy, and this is even more true in a population of young adults. |
