Mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumors (MSPs) are a rare and diagnostically challenging manifestation of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections. Proper recognition of these pseudotumors is important because they are treatable and benign. In this study, we evaluated the morphologic patterns of MSPs to improve their pathologic identification.

We report the first description of spinal cord mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumor. A patient with newly diagnosed advanced HIV presented with recent-onset bilateral leg weakness and was found to have a hypermetabolic spinal cord mass on structural and molecular imaging. Biopsy and cultures from blood and cerebrospinal fluid confirmed spindle cell pseudotumor due to Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare.

Mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumor (MSP) is a rare proliferation of spindle-shaped histiocytes that occurs most frequently in lymph nodes but has also been documented in the skin, soft tissue, abdomen, and other sites. These lesions contain acid-fast mycobacteria, most commonly complex. Fewer than 10 cases of cutaneous MSPs have been published, and most have occurred in immunocompromised patients, either due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or immunosuppressive medications.
