Resumen

Los ganglioneuromas lipomatosos son una variante poco frecuente de los ganglioneuromas, que se caracterizan por presentar un componente adipocítico maduro entremezclado con un componente convencional de ganglioneuroma. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 34 años con una lesión paravertebral L1-L4 derecha con extensión intraespinal y con déficit neurológico secundario, que fue intervenido en nuestro centro. La anatomía patológica confirmó la presencia de una neoplasia encapsulada amarillenta, que al microscopio presentaba áreas de ganglioneuroma mezcladas con áreas de grasa madura.

En el seguimiento, el paciente se encontraba asintomático, con la paresia en la extremidad inferior derecha recuperada. En el último control de imagen no presentaba datos de recidiva de la lesión.

Existen menos de 10 casos de ganglioneuroma lipomatoso descritos en la bibliografía. Este es el primero a nivel paravertebral con extensión intraespinal y con déficit neurológico, de ahí el interés de este trabajo.

Abstract

Lipomatous ganglioneuromas are a rare variant of ganglioneuromas characterized by a mature adipocytic component admixed with a conventional ganglioneuroma component. We present the case of a 34 year old patient with a paravertebral right lesion L1-L4 with intraspinal extension and secondary neurological deficit, who underwent surgery in our hospital. The pathological anatomy showed a yellowish encapsulated neoplasm, which under microscopic evaluation showed areas of ganglioneuroma admixed with areas of mature fat.

In the follow up, the patient was asymptomatic, had recovered paresis in the right lower extremity and in the last image control did not present data of lesion recurrence.

Fewer than 10 cases of lipomatous ganglioneuromas have been reported in the literature, being this the first paravertebral case wih intraspinal extension and with neurological deficit, hence the interest of this work.
