title: Left somatosensory cortex tumor presented with radicular hand pain and paresthesia.
abstract: Concurrent lesions in the brain and spinal cord, which can produce similar symptoms are truly confusing situations. Herein, we report on a 56-year-old woman who suffered from an intermittent radicular pain and paresthesia in her right upper limb and mild headache. Imaging showed a cervical vertebral disc herniation and a small round tumor of the somatosensory cortex with clear border, considered as a little meningioma, which could be followed. To deal with these two concurrent lesions, we faced a challenging condition.
