title: Exophytic primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the spinal cord.
abstract: We present a case of an exophytic spinal primitive neuroectodermal tumor that, radiologically, simulated an extramedullary nerve sheath tumor, meningioma, or metastatic tumor deposit. MR imaging provided discrete anatomic localization of the tumor, enabling exclusion of multicentricity in the brain and spinal cord.
