ABSTRACT
Cauda Equina Neuroendocrine Tumors (CE-NET), previously referred to as paragangliomas are a rare subset of spinal tumors, with limited data on imaging. Herein, we present a retrospective review of clinical and imaging findings of CE-NETs in ten patients who were evaluated at our institution over the past two decades. All patients had well-defined intradural lesions in the lumbar spine which demonstrated slow growth. A review of imaging findings revealed the presence of an eccentric vascular pedicle along the dorsal aspect of the tumor in 8 of the 10 patients (eccentric vessel sign), a distinctive finding that has not previously been reported with this tumor and may help improve the accuracy of imaging-based diagnosis. In all cases, a gross-total resection was performed, with resolution of symptoms in most of the cases.
