Int J Neurosci 2023; 133:1309-1314. [PMID: 35698431 DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2022.2079499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Spinal giant cell tumor (GCT) combined with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a locally aggressive primary bone tumor. Total en bloc spondylectomy has never been reported to treat thoracic GCT combined with secondary ABC. We retrospectively reviewed two cases of spinal GCT combined with secondary ABC. A 41-year-old male patient was presented with back pain due to irregular expansive bone destruction involving the T6 vertebral body and intraspinal space-occupying lesion. Total en bloc spondylectomy of T6 vertebra was performed with good neurological status after the surgery. A 29-year-old female patient was presented with right scapular region pain due to irregular expansive bone destruction involving the T5 vertebral body and intraspinal space-occupying lesion. Total en bloc spondylectomy of T5 vertebra was performed with good neurological status after the surgery. Adjuvant radiation therapy was applied after the surgery without local recurrence at the 12-month or 24-month follow-up. Spinal GCT combined with secondary ABC appears to have a high local recurrence rate. Therefore, total en bloc spondylectomy should be applied to treat thoracic GCT combined with secondary ABC.

J Neurointerv Surg 2021; 13:841-847. [PMID: 33883210 DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2021-017419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CT-guided biopsy is a commonly used diagnostic procedure for spinal lesions. This meta-analysis aims to investigate its diagnostic performance and complications, as well as factors influencing outcomes. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify studies reporting outcomes of CT-guided biopsies for spinal lesions. Diagnostic yield (ie, the rate of procedures resulting in a specific pathological diagnosis) and diagnostic accuracy (ie, the rate of procedures resulting in the correct diagnosis) were the primary outcomes of interest. Complications following biopsy procedures were also included. RESULTS Thirty-nine studies with 3917 patients undergoing 4181 procedures were included. Diagnostic yield per procedure was 91% (95% CI 88% to 94%) among 3598 procedures. The most common reason for non-diagnostic biopsies was inadequacy of sample. No difference in diagnostic yield between different locations and between lytic, sclerotic, and mixed lesions was found. Diagnostic yield did not differ between procedures using ≤13G and ≥14G needles. Diagnostic accuracy per procedure was 86% (95% CI 82% to 89%) among 3054 procedures. Diagnostic accuracy among 2426 procedures that yielded a diagnosis was 94% (95% CI 92% to 96%). Complication rate was 1% (95% CI 0.4% to 1.9%) among 3357 procedures. Transient pain and minor hematoma were the most common complications encountered. CONCLUSION In our meta-analysis of 39 studies reporting diagnostic performance and complications of CT-guided biopsy, we found a diagnostic yield of 91% and diagnostic accuracy of 86% with a complication rate of 1%. Diagnostic yield did not differ between different locations, between lytic, sclerotic and mixed lesions, and between wide- and thin-bore needles.

Review article: the current status of CT-guided needle biopsy of the spine. Skeletal Radiol 2021; 50:281-299.

Abstract
CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy of the spine is a well-described technique for determining the nature of indeterminate vertebral lesions or establishing a diagnosis of spinal infection, the high diagnostic accuracy and the safety of the procedure having been extensively documented. The purpose of the current article is to review the literature to date on CT-guided spinal biopsy. Specifically, indications for spinal biopsy, techniques for optimising yield, detail of the approaches for various spinal levels which is dependent upon both the region within the spinal column and lesion location within the vertebra (body vs. neural arch), determinants of biopsy outcome and complications are covered. It is hoped that the review will be of particular benefit to junior radiologists who are required to perform this procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction Computed tomography (CT)-guided vertebral biopsy is always recommended for histopathological and microbiological confirmation in cases of tuberculous spondylodiscitis and for antimycobacterial drug sensitivity testing.
Aim To compare the conventional technique and a novel axis-defined tram-track technique of CT-guided vertebral biopsy in suspected tuberculous spondylodiscitis.
Materials and Methods Sixty-seven patients of clinico-radiologically suspected tuberculous spondylodiscitis referred for CT-guided vertebral biopsy were categorized into two groups: “Group A” patients (n = 32) underwent biopsy by conventional technique, and “Group B” patients (n = 35) by axis-defined tram-track technique. The time taken for procedure, radiation exposure, and any procedural complications were recorded for both the groups.
Results A statistically significant difference in procedure time and mean radiation dose was observed between the two groups: a longer procedural time was required in “Group A” (52.5 ± 3.5 minutes) as compared to “Group B” (37.3 ± 3.6 minutes) (p < 0.0001); and mean radiation dose (CTDIvol) in “Group A” and “Group B” was 8.64 ± 1.06 mGy and 5.73 ± 0.71 mGy, respectively (p < 0.0001). However, the difference in complication rate and tissue yield for successful diagnosis of the biopsies in the two groups was found to be statistically insignificant.
Conclusion Axis-defined tram-track technique was found to have a significantly shorter procedural time as well as lower radiation exposure compared to the conventional technique of vertebral biopsy in our study.

Abstract
This case reports a 25-year-old woman initially diagnosed with adjacent benign notochordal cell tumors (BNCTs) of L3 and L4 based on needle biopsy of L3 and stable imaging over a 3-year period who was ultimately found to have a chordoma arising from a BNCT at L3. It illustrates the potential relationship between benign and malignant notochordal tumors and the difficulty in distinguishing them by clinical, radiological, and even histopathological means.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Recent articles have identified the poor diagnostic yield of percutaneous needle biopsy for vertebral osteomyelitis. The current study aimed to confirm the higher accuracy of CT-guided spinal biopsy for vertebral neoplasms and to identify which biopsy technique provides the highest yield.
METHODS
Over a 9-year period, the radiology department at University Hospitals Case Medical Center performed 222 CT-guided biopsies of vertebral lesions, of which clinicians indicated a concern for vertebral neoplasms in 122 patients. A retrospective chart review was performed to confirm the higher sensitivity of the percutaneous intervention for vertebral neoplasms.
RESULTS
A core sample was obtained for all 122 biopsies of concern (100.0%). Only 6 cases (4.9%) were reported as nondiagnostic per histological sampling, and 12 cases (9.8%) were negative for disease. The question of vertebral neoplastic involvement warrants follow-up, and the current study was able to determine the subsequent diagnosis of each lesion. Of the 122 total, 94 (77.0%) core samples provided true-positive results, and the sensitivity of core biopsy measured 87.9%. The technical approach did not demonstrate any significant difference in diagnostic yield. However, when the vertebral cortex was initially pierced with a coaxial bone biopsy system and subsequently a 14-gauge spring-loaded cutting biopsy needle was coaxially advanced into lytic lesions, 14 true positives were obtained with a corresponding sensitivity of 100.0%.
CONCLUSIONS
This study confirms the higher sensitivity of image-guided percutaneous needle biopsy for vertebral neoplasms. In addition, it demonstrates how the use of a novel cutting needle biopsy approach, performed coaxially through a core biopsy track, provides the highest yield.
