“…[3]. The only previous report of isolated extramedullary relapse presenting with cord compression in a child appeared in 1975 [4]. That patient differed from ours in the presence of positive spinal fluid and in the features of the tumor (mainly connective tissue with small foci of lymphoblasts).…”

“…Spinal cord compression has been reported as a rare complication of the initial presentation of leukemia in children, occurring in 0.4% of patients in one large series [3]. The only previous report of isolated extramedullary relapse presenting with cord compression in a child appeared in 1975 [4]. That patient differed from ours in the presence of positive spinal fluid and in the features of the tumor (mainly connective tissue with small foci of lymphoblasts).…”

A 27-year-old man presented with a very rare spinal epidural mass associated with recurrence of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) manifesting as acute progressive neurological deficits. The patient presented with shoulder pain and ambulatory difficulties 3 years after remission of ALL treated by bone marrow transplantation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an epidural mass extending from C-7 to T-3, which compressed the cord and extended to the intervertebral foramen along the roots. After decompression surgery, the symptoms dramatically improved. Histological examination showed clusters of immature lymphocytes consistent with recurrence of leukemia, so chemotherapy and radiation therapy were carried out. At 1 year after the operation, no local mass expansion or systemic progression of leukemia had occurred. Leukemic mass must be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural mass, even in patients with ALL.
