| Abstract |
|
Mediastinal “dumbbell” tumors are constricted at the point they penetrate the intervertebral foramina or dura mater and
assume an hourglass shape. Nowadays, the term is used as a conceptual term meaning separate tumors that connect and
have two or more separate regions such as intradural space, epidural space, and mediastinum. Because of their varied
locations, dumbbell tumors have variable features, clinical symptoms, and pathological characteristics different from common
spinal tumors, and therefore, their surgical treatment is also different. A 51-year-old female presented with ambiguous
numbness on her right lower back. Clinical studies revealed a large mediastinal mass in the posterior mediastinum which
penetrated the vertebral foramen of the eleventh thoracic vertebra and was composed of dumbbell tumor. We completely
excised the tumor through one-stage combined approach by thoracic surgery and neurosurgery. |
