Primary thoracic primitive neuroectodermal tumor mimicking as neurofibroma

Magnetic resonance imaging of thoracic spine showed a dumbbell-shaped tumor at D1 and D2 level with epidural component, isointense on T1W and hyperintense on T2W sequence with homogenous contrast enhancement [Figure 1] and [Figure 2] The left paraspinal and posterior mediastinal components were in c...

Description
Summary:Magnetic resonance imaging of thoracic spine showed a dumbbell-shaped tumor at D1 and D2 level with epidural component, isointense on T1W and hyperintense on T2W sequence with homogenous contrast enhancement [Figure 1] and [Figure 2] The left paraspinal and posterior mediastinal components were in continuity through the neural canal foramen. Because of immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and molecular biologic similarities, both have recently been categorized into the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors.
