摘要

背景:硬膜内髓外脂肪瘤是一种罕见的脊髓肿瘤,在脊髓受压导致神经系统症状之前一直没有症状。前胸壁疼痛作为最初的表现是不常见的,可以有助于延迟诊断,因为它提示临床医生排除其他病理。病例报告:患者是一名44岁的女性,表现为慢性胸壁前痛、不稳定、不平衡和上运动神经元体征。成像显示,磁共振显示硬膜内髓外肿块由脂肪组织组成,从T2到T5,提示脊柱脂肪瘤。随后,患者成功地进行了完全切除和椎板成形术,立即改善了所有症状。结论:硬膜内髓外脂肪瘤的诊断是复杂的,往往是偶然的,根据肿瘤的定位和大小有不同的表现。虽然不常见,但在评估对保守治疗无效且伴有神经系统症状的持续性、不明原因的疼痛时,保持高度的怀疑是至关重要的。

Unveiling the Uncommon: Intradural Extramedullary Cord Lipoma Inducing Chest Wall Pain in a Middle-Aged Female Patient-A Case Report.

Background: Intradural extramedullary lipomas are rare spinal cord tumors that remain asymptomatic until compression of the spinal cord results in neurological symptoms. Anterior chest wall pain as the initial presentation is uncommon and can contribute to the delayed diagnosis, as it prompts clinicians to rule out other pathologies.

Case report: The patient is a 44-year-old woman who presented with chronic anterior chest wall pain, instability, imbalance, and upper motor neuron signs. Imaging was obtained, and magnetic resonance revealed an intradural extramedullary mass composed of adipose tissue from T2 to T5, indicative of a spinal lipoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent complete excision and laminoplasty successfully, immediately improving all symptoms.

Conclusions: Diagnosing intradural extramedullary lipomas is intricate and often incidental, with varied presentations depending on tumor localization and size. While uncommon, it is crucial to maintain a heightened level of suspicion when evaluating persistent, unexplained pain resistant to conservative treatments and accompanied by neurological symptoms.
