INTRODUCTION: We present our experience with the diagnosis and treatment of @entity14325 ( @entity14325 ). METHODS: We used our database of surgical @entity1 to gather epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up data from confirmed cases of @entity14325 . @entity1 ' functional status was evaluated using the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score for thoracic @entity602 . RESULTS: We included 7 @entity1 with ages ranging between 42 and 63 years; 4 were @entity1 . Lesions in all @entity1 were located in the thoracic epidural space; in 2 cases, lesions extended outside the spinal canal. The most frequent form of presentation was @entity158 combined with progressive @entity602 ; @entity1 scored 5 to 9 points on the mJOA scale. Radiological findings varied; this variability clearly depended on the proportion of @entity5 components (cellular variant in one case, predominantly @entity1653 in another, and myxoid in yet another case). Four cases displayed radiological signs of bone involvement. Surgery resulted in excellent mJOA scores except in one case (mJOA score of 10); no recurrences were detected during follow-up (periods ranging from 1 to 5 years). CONCLUSIONS: Extradural @entity14325 can present with highly variable radiological and clinical features. Surgery must be tailored to each individual situation according to @entity5 extension; in some cases, it may include spinal reconstruction. Surgery results in excellent outcomes regardless of preoperative functional status and it is associated with low recurrence rates, even in case of incomplete resection.

XXXX : 7 new cases and review of the literature.
