Background: Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) with anaplastic features is extremely rare. There are very few such case reports in the medical literature. Case Description: A 23-year-old female presented with lower back pain, and both urinary and fecal dysfunction. The patient underwent gross total surgical excision of the MR documented expansile intrasacral tumor. The histology was compatible with a MPE containing anaplastic features. Conclusion: The medical literature contains a few comparable cases of subcutaneous sacrococcygeal MPE with anaplastic components. Here, however, we have a young female with an anaplastic intrasacral MPE treated with gross total surgical excision.

Intradural Extramedullary

Ependymomas are common spinal lesions, with the vast majority arising in an intramedullary location. Several cases have been described in the literature of ependymomas in an intradural, extramedullary location. The authors present a case of a 56-year-old female who presented with several weeks of lower back pain and weakness. MRI revealed an intradural, extramedullary enhancing mass at L1-L2. The mass was successfully resected surgically. Pathologic evaluation revealed a low grade glioma with components of both ependymoma and pilocytic astrocytoma with MUTYH G382D mutation. Extramedullary ependymomas are very rare tumors. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of ependymoma/astrocytoma collision tumors described in an extramedullary location.

There is a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in cases of chronic contained rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, as the symptoms can be more subtle including dull back pain, and thus lacking the typical features of rupture. The objective of this research was to introduce a case report emphasizing the need to relate the low back pain with atypical radiological appearances of entities, as aortic abdominal aneurysms, capable to compromise the patients’ clinical diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

Middle Aged Male

Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor, usually non-functioning and asymptomatic until it reaches large size. AML is mostly detected incidentally by imaging and is composed of adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. Only symptomatic tumor needs surgical excision. We report the case of a large non-functioning adrenal tumor discovered by means of combined imaging techniques in a middle-aged male patient who complained the sudden onset of severe lower back pain; successful laparoscopic removal was performed, and AML was diagnosed at histopathology.
