The foraminal mass is again noted confirming the heterogeneity seen on CT due to small cystic/necrotic component.
Case Discussion
Incidental finding on abdominal imaging of a nerve root tumor enlarging the L2/3 intervertebral foramen. The differential diagnosis is made basically between schwannoma and neurofibroma, the first favored.
This case was managed conservatively, no histological confirmations was obtained.
