Department of Radiology (Neuroradiology), Toronto Hospital-General Division, Ontario, Canada.

The MR and pathologic features of a case with neuroendocrine tumor (paraganglioma) of the cauda equina are presented. MR showed the tumor to be hyperintense on postcontrast examination and also showed serpiginous flow voids suggesting vessels capping the tumor. A neuroendocrine tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumors in this location.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D010235	Paraganglioma	A neural crest tumor usually derived from the chromoreceptor tissue of a paraganglion, such as the carotid body, or medulla of the adrenal gland (usually called a chromaffinoma or pheochromocytoma). It is more common in women than in men.
