Abstract
We report on a 50-year-old man who suffered from chronic lumbago. CT and MRI revealed a paravertebral tumor mass growing through the neural foramen of lumbar vertebrae 1/2. Signal features on MRI and contrast medium enhancement characteristics were not diagnostically specific. After biopsy a glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential was diagnosed. We also describe the features of glomus tumors and the possible differential diagnoses.Entities:
