“…We have not detailed the rare cases of lymphoma bordering on our study, and they are not remarkable when compared to other cases reported in literature by Amagasa [19]. One chordoma in our series presented with all the clinical and imaging features of a true cauda equina tumor and was diagnosed on histological examination only.…”

Large series of cauda equina tumors in adults are seldom reported. This French series retrospectively reviews 231 cases collected for the congress of the Societe Francaise de Neurochirurgie in 1996. The authors first analyze this series and then discuss the pertinent literature. Schwannoma was the most frequent benign tumor in this series, followed by ependymoma. Very few malignant tumors were recorded; these were usually malignant neurinomas nearly always in neurofibromatosis patients. Some other rare tumors were also recorded, including paragangliomas. This series confirms the importance of the pretherapeutic neurological status in functional prognosis. All schwannomas can be cured, while ependymomas and paragangliomas may recur after a very long delay. Surgery must be as complete as possible, since adjuvant therapies are proven to have little efficacy. This type of tumor requires very long follow-up. Prognosis is good for hemangioblastomas. Sphincter dysfunctions carries a poor prognosis and may appear after primary surgery, more often after treatment of recurrences.

“…13, 14). Increased vascularization seems to be an interesting diagnostic parameter, but it can be encountered in other tumors, including rare hemangioblastomas of cauda equina [15,16], those arising from envelopes [17,18], or seeded ones such as lymphomas [19][20][21].…”

“…There is no consensus of treatment due to its extreme rarity. Almost all patients were treated with CXT (Amagasa et al, 1996;Karikari et al, 2007), with 2 cases treated with RT to the tumor site, and 1 received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after the first CR with CXT (Yoshida et al, 2014). No resection was being attempted, perhaps due to its complexity and the organ location being fairly deep in the brain.…”

“…The patient was admitted to the neurology department for a further investigation of his symptoms. The results of laboratory tests were as follows: white blood cell count=5.8×10 3 Blood and CSF cultures for bacteria and acid-fast bacilli were negative. The levels of serum beta-D-glucan as well as serum and CSF cryptococcal antigens were within the normal limits.…”

Pineal Malignant B-cell Lymphoma with Lower Cranial Nerve Involvement

A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of dysphagia and hoarseness that had persisted for five days. A neurological examination indicated bulbar palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening of cranial nerves IX, X and XI, in addition to pineal body enlargement with diffuse contrast enhancement. A tumor biopsy overriding the spinal root of the right XIth cranial nerve was performed. The histologic analysis confirmed a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Malignant lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pineal region tumors. Furthermore, obtaining histological confirmation is crucial for making proper management decisions.
