Myxopapillary Ependymoma Metastasis Mimicking Pulmonary Embolism: An Illustrative Case
Abstract: Myxopapillary ependymomas (MPEs) are rare spinal cord tumors with low rates of metastasis outside of the neuraxis. Gross total resection of MPEs can significantly improve progression-free survival; however, adjunctive treatment remains unstandardized. A 29-year-old female with a history of spina bifida occulta surgical correction and lower back pain presented with dyspnea and tachycardia. A large pulmonary artery mass was discovered consistent with pulmonary thromboembolism. It was subsequently determined to be an intravascular metastasis secondary to sacral MPE. Standardization of MPE treatment and clinical suspicion of spinal neoplasm in the setting of chronic back pain with undetermined origin are of value.
