Abstract

We report a case of a benign notochordal cell tumor (BNCT) of the sacrum with atypical imaging features, which was incidentally discovered in a 74-year-old man undergoing evaluation for progressively worsening hip and back pain. It is important for radiologists, pathologists and orthopedic surgeons to be aware of the diagnosis of BNCT and be familiar with its radiographic features to avoid unnecessary treatment. This case illustrates the advantage of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy as a minimally invasive technique for definitive diagnosis of a BNCT with atypical imaging features.

影像特征不典型的骶骨良性脊索细胞瘤:CT引导活检的诊断价值。
我们报告一例骶骨的良性脊索细胞瘤(BNCT),具有非典型的影像学特征,偶然发现于一位74岁的男性,因髋关节和背部疼痛逐渐恶化而接受评估。对于放射科医生、病理学家和骨科医生来说,了解BNCT的诊断和熟悉其影像学特征,以避免不必要的治疗是很重要的。本病例说明了经皮计算机断层扫描(CT)引导下的活检作为一种微创技术对具有非典型影像学特征的BNCT进行明确诊断的优势。
