Clinical Summary

A 49-year-old female, with a history of iron deficiency anemia and GERD, was investigated for longstanding low back pain. MRI of the lumbar spine and sacrum revealed hyperintense lesions with surrounding bone marrow edema in the bilateral sacral ala, iliac wings, acetabuli, and right femoral neck. Extensive imaging studies were undertaken to further characterize these lesions. A 3.2 x 2.8 x 3.3 cm heterogeneously enhancing right frontal dural-based mass that was 68Ga-DOTATOC avid was identified. Neurosurgery was consulted and a right frontal craniotomy and resection of tumor was performed. Intra-operative findings showed a significantly vascular right frontal dural-based tumor.

Discussion points

  1. What is the differential diagnosis and which immunohistochemical stains would aid in narrowing the differential?
  2. Which additional molecular tests would help confirm the diagnosis?
