Resumen
Objetivo

Presentar un caso de histiocitoma fibroso maligno vertebral a nivel de la cuarta vértebra lumbar que recibió tratamiento por una espondilectomía L4 y colocación de expansor intervertebral y fijación posterior.

Caso clínico

Paciente masculino de 47 años de edad sin antecedentes de importancia, que presenta dolor lumbar de 2 meses de evolución. Se trata de forma conservadora, con una leve mejoría del dolor; sin embargo, persiste con dolor lumbar con irradiación a miembros pélvicos de predominio izquierdo, acompañado de debilidad y claudicación. Clínicamente presenta paraparesia 3/5 e hipoestesia L4, L5 y S1 de predominio izquierdo. La tomografía axial computarizada de la región lumbosacra evidencia una lesión osteolítica en cuerpo de L4 de predominio izquierdo con invasión a canal lumbar con márgenes poco delimitados. En el estudio de resonancia magnética de columna lumbosacra se observa lesión hiperintensa en T2, heterogénea, de bordes irregulares, que involucra más del 60% del cuerpo vertebral de L4 con invasión al canal raquídeo que ocasiona compresión a raíces. Se manejó con una espondilectomía L4 y la colocación de un expansor intervertebral y fijación posterior.

Conclusión

La espondilectomía es una opción viable y efectiva para el tratamiento del histiocitoma fibroso maligno. La localización lumbar baja conlleva abordajes combinados; sin embargo, el desafío es mayor, ya que requiere de un conocimiento de los grandes vasos abdominales y de una intervención multidisciplinaria.

Abstract
Objective

To present a case of spinal malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the fourth lumbar vertebra that received treatment by an L4 spondylectomy and placement of intervertebral expander and posterior fixation.

Case report

A 47-year-old male patient with no relevant history presented with lumbar pain of 2 months’ evolution. Treated conservatively, with slight improvement in pain, the patient persisted with low back pain irradiation to pelvic members, predominantly left-sided, accompanied by weakness and claudication. Clinically, he presented with paresthesias 3/5, hypoaesthesia L4, L5 and S1, predominantly left-sided. Lumbosacral computerized axial tomography evidence of an osteolytic lesion in the L4 body, predominantly left-sided, with invasion of the lumbar canal with poorly delimited margins; lumbosacral spine MRI showed hyperintense lesion in T2, heterogeneous, with irregular borders involving more than 60% of the vertebral body of L4 with invasion of the spinal canal causing compression to the roots. He was treated with an L4 spondylectomy and placement of intervertebral expander and posterior fixation.

Conclusion

Spondylectomy is an effective option for the treatment of spinal malignant fibrous histiocytoma that involves combined approaches. However the challenge is greater since it requires a knowledge of the great abdominal vessels and multidisciplinary intervention.
