Abstract
A 6-year-old boy presented to our hospital with pain and numbness in his left leg. There was no history of surgery or trauma. Physical examination revealed paresthesia in the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass that was isointense on T1-weighted images, heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and heterogeneous with contrast enhancement (Figs. 1 and 2) at the L2 level. The mass extended into the spinal canal and compressed the spinal cord. The mass also extended into the neural foramen (Figs. 1 and 2). The mass was surgically removed, and it was identified as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor via pathologic examination.
