Myelodysplasia presenting as thoracic spinal epidural extramedullary hematopoiesis: a rare treatable cause of spinal cord myelopathy

Lucia Monti et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2012 May.

Abstract

We present clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and pathological findings of a 61-year-old patient with an otherwise asymptomatic myelodysplastic syndrome presenting with progressive paraparesis from epidural thoracic spinal extramedullary hematopoiesis. Surgical spinal cord decompression resulted in complete clinical remission.
