Medicine (Baltimore)
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare cancers that primarily occur in the digestive tract and bronchi, with intraspinal NETs being particularly uncommon, often metastasizing from other areas and presenting with vague symptoms.
- - A 59-year-old male patient with persistent right lower limb pain, numbness, and weakness was diagnosed with primary intraspinal NET through MRI and subsequent pathological examination.
- - After surgical resection, the patient showed significant improvement in symptoms, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and timely imaging to avoid misdiagnosis of intraspinal NETs, which can be confused with common lumbar conditions.
