Background: Despite surgical resection of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) having been always discouraged, recent evidence supports that it might improve prognosis in this patient population. Five- aminolevulinic acid-derived fluorescence is widely used for the resection of malignant gliomas, but its role in PCNSL surgery remains unclear.
Case Description: We present two patients with a solitary solid intraparenchymal mass.
Introduction: Spinal aneurysmal bone cysts are very infrequent benign osteolytic lesions consisting of blood-filled cavities that are separated by osteo-connective septa and osteoclast-type giant cells. Clinically they manifest with local pain, neurological symptoms secondary to spinal cord compression, and fractures, deformities and vertebral instability. We report a case of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the thoracic spine with neurological signs and symptoms treated by means of a full microsurgical resection, with no associated neurological sequelae.
