Para Spinal Mass with Multiple Differential Diagnosis- A Case report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
A paraspinal mass may be caused by large number of conditions including an abscess, non specific lesions and benign & malignant conditions involving mesenchymal/soft tissues. The diagnosis of many such lesions may be done with ease especially when correlated with clinical and radiological findings. However, the diagnosis is substantially challenging, especially when Clinico- radiological data are inconsistent and multiple diagnosis is offered. In these situations the role of histopathologist is of utmost importance for the final diagnosis as he/she must be aware of presence of rare cases that might arise from the paraspinal soft tissue. We report here a rare case of paraspinal mass which is diagnosed clinically as Lipoma /Neurofibroma and radiologically as Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberance /Peripheral Nerve Sheath tumour. The histopathological diagnosis was Glomus tumour.
