ABSTRACT
An unusual case of intraspinal peripheral neuroepithelioma arising from the cauda equina is reported. The patient, a 21-year old female, suffered from low back pain with radiation to the posterior aspect of both legs. Myelographic, computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging studies of lumbosacral spine showed the intradural extramedullary mass lesion on the L3-S1 level which was excised surgically, but recurred rapidly. It could be diagnosed by the histopathologic findings. The postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were administered. We report this rare case with review of the literatures.
