Abstract
- A 20-year-old patient with a history of von Hippel-Lindau disease reported on thoracic back pain radiating to the left shoulder for 10 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a progressive contrast-enhancing tumor (14 × 21 × 28 mm) compressing the spinal cord and extending into the left neural foramen at T5/6. After embolization of supplying vessels, the tumor was completely resected via hemilaminectomy of T5. The postoperative course was uneventful without surgery related morbidity. The pathological examination disclosed a paraganglioma WHO grade I. We discuss the differential diagnoses and pitfalls of this unexpected finding in this patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
