Notably, although 20% involve the central nervous system, only one in 10 occurs in the spine versus the brain. Case Description: A 46-year-old female presented with 18 months of left lower extremity sciatica. On examination, she had a 60° limitation of straight leg raising but was otherwise neurologically intact. The lumbar magnetic resonance revealed a dumbbell tumor at the L4–L5 level filing the canal, causing cauda equina compression and extending into the left L45 foramen. The patient successfully underwent a L4 left hemi-laminectomy for tumor resection. The postoperative World Health Organization (WHO) histopathology was consistent with a SFT/WHO Grade I hemangiopericytoma (HPC). Conclusion: A 46-year-old female with a lumbar L4 SFT with the left L45 foraminal extension successfully underwent a left hemilaminectomy for GTR of an SFT/WHO Grade I HPC.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/2a707b1d-4b1c-40e6-b82d-21b6fc0b2f7b/featured/hero-1781559307928.png","publishDate":"2024-08-23T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_538_2024","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/2a707b1d-4b1c-40e6-b82d-21b6fc0b2f7b/pdf"}
