Background:Spine tumors remain a hot topic because of their associated morbidity by affecting motor and sensory function. Contrary to metastatic spine disease (MSD), extremely prevalent, rise within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or vertebral column, primary spinal tumors are rare, 5% of all primary skeletal tumors and frequently benign (20%). The diagnostic delay of these tumors, even when benign, is associated with a poor prognosis. Establishing the correct diagnosis is heavily reliant on magnetic resonance imaging and histological confirmation.Objectives:to provide an overview of the epidemiology, radiological and histopathological of spinal tumors diagnosed in a rheumatology department.Methods:A retrospective study consisting of clinical characteristics analysis, laboratory and x-ray examinations, was performed on 40 patients who were hospitalised for a spinal tumor, in a rheumatology department, over 5-year period from 2015 to 2020.Results:A total of 40 patients with a mean age of 66 ± 13.5 years [18-93] and a sex-ratio of 1.1, were included. The most common initial complaints were inflammatory back pain (67.5%) and fatigue (52.5%), with a median duration of 5 months. Physical examination abnormalities included lumbar stiffness (32.5%), radicular signs (18.7%), hepatomegaly (12.5%), and lymphadenopathy (17.5%). Neurological deficit was found in only 3 patients (7.5%). Hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium > 105 mg/l), and anemia (hemoglobin (Hb) < 100 g/l in female, Hb <110g/l in male) were present initially in respectively 47.5% and 46.3% patients, while biological inflammatory syndrome was present in 89.7% patients (median C-reactive protein of 44.7). Tumor markers were performed in 12 patients and they were positive in 9 of them.Plain radiographs findings were vertebral compression fractures (43.6%), osteolytic lesions (30.8%) and osteoblastic lesions (12.5%). Lumbar spine was the most affected (57.5%), followed by the dorsal spine (45%). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 55%, and the most common lesion was low signal intensity on T1-weighted sequences and high signal intensity on T2-weighted sequences (68.1%).In our study, only one patient was diagnosed for a myxopapillary ependymoma, a benign primary spinal tumor characterised by a metastatic dissemination risk. For the rest (39 patients), the diagnosis of bone metastasis, multiple myeloma (57.7%), and of solid tumor cancers (40%), were established. Primary cancers were mainly prostate cancer (37.5%), lung cancer (18.7%) and kidney cancer (18.7%). By a median follow-up time of 25 months, overall survival rate was 30%.Conclusion:Extradural lesions are the most common, and are typically metastatic. Special attention should be pain to the patient’s medical history and laboratory abnormalities. In fact, an early diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Sacral Spinal Cord

Sacral spinal cord ependymoma is an uncommon pathology. Most of the reported cases are consistent with a myxopapillary ependymoma histopathologic subtype. Non-myxopapillary ependymomas rarely occur in the sacral region. Most lesions are intradural; however, rare extradural cases can occur. We present the case of a 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with a grade II sacral extradural ependymoma, emphasising the importance of an interdepartmental case approach for diagnosis and management. Even though grade II ependymomas are considered low grade, the potential for recurrence and metastatic disease has been reported. There are no treatment guidelines for these rare tumours besides gross total resection.

Background: Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) with anaplastic features is extremely rare. There are very few such case reports in the medical literature. Case Description: A 23-year-old female presented with lower back pain, and both urinary and fecal dysfunction. The patient underwent gross total surgical excision of the MR documented expansile intrasacral tumor. The histology was compatible with a MPE containing anaplastic features. Conclusion: The medical literature contains a few comparable cases of subcutaneous sacrococcygeal MPE with anaplastic components. Here, however, we have a young female with an anaplastic intrasacral MPE treated with gross total surgical excision.

Abstract Purpose: Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is the most frequent tumor affecting the medullary conus. The surgical therapeutic management is still debated and only few studies have focused on the postoperative clinical outcome of patients. This study aimed to demonstrate long-term postoperative outcome and to assess the predictive factors of recurrence as well as the clinical evolution of these patients.Methods: From 1984 to 2019, in four French centers 101 adult patients diagnosed with MPE were retrospectively included. Results: Median age at surgery was 39 years. Median tumor size was 50mm and lesions were multifocal in 13% of patients. All patients benefited from surgery and one patient received postoperative radiotherapy. Gross total resection was obtained in 75% of cases. Sixteen percent of patients presented recurrence after a median follow-up of 70 months. Progression free survival at 5 and 10 years were respectively estimated at 83% and 79%. After multivariable analysis, sacral localization, and subtotal resection were shown to be independently associated with tumor recurrence. 85% of the patients had a favorable evolution concerning pain. Twelve percent of the patients presented a postoperative deterioration of sphincter function and 4% of motor function. Conclusion: Surgery alone is an acceptable option for MPE patients. Patients with sacral location or incomplete resection are at high risk of recurrence and should be carefully monitored.
