N2 - A 64-year-old-man had a 2-year history beginning with a sense of abdominal "constriction." Additional slowly rising symptoms, such as tingling of the legs, mild gait ataxia and painful micturition, led to MRI investigation of the spinal cord. A fusiform enlargement of the cord extending from T5 to T8 was shown. The space occupying lesion infiltrated diffusely the spinal cord. A contrast medium enhancing exophytic tumor pellet was approached via a 2-level laminoplasty and resected. Biopsies were taken from different exophytic tumor areas whereas the intramedullary part was spared. The histologic examination confirmed the typical pattern of a pilocytic astrocytoma in all specimens. In our surgical experience with 226 intramedullary tumors and with 117 patients affected by intracranial pilocytic astrocytoma this case is unique because of its combination of tumor location, growth pattern and age of the patient.
