The study cohort consisted of 83 patients with a mean age of 49.55 (SD 13.72) with a female preponderance (60 patients). Here, 32.14% of patients had primary LTS; the remaining were metastases. Clinical presentation included nonspecific back pain (57.83%), weakness (21.69%) and radicular pain (18.07%). History of uterine neoplasia was found in 33.73% of patients. LTS preferentially affected the thoracic spine (51.81%), followed by the lumbar (21.67%) spine. MRI alone was the most common imaging modality (33.33%); in other cases, it was used with CT (22.92%) or X-ray (16.67%); 19.23% of patients had Resection/Fixation, 15.38% had Total en bloc spondylectomy, and 10.26% had Corpectomy. A minority of patients had laminectomy and decompression. Among those with resection, 45.83% had a gross total resection, 29.17% had a subtotal resection, and 16.67% had a near total resection. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for actin (43.37%), desmin (31.33%), and Ki67 (25.30). At a follow-up of 19.3 months, 61.97% of patients were alive; 26.25% of 80 patients received no additional treatment, 23.75% received combination radiotherapy and chemotherapy, only chemotherapy was given to 20%, and radiotherapy was given to 17.5%. Few (2.5%) had further resection. For an average of 12.50 months, 42.31% had no symptoms, while others had residual (19.23%), other metastasis (15.38%), and pain (7.69%). On follow-up of 29 patients, most (68.97%) had resolved symptoms; 61.97% of the 71 patients followed were alive.
本研究队列共纳入83例患者,平均年龄49.55岁(标准差13.72),女性占优势(60例)。其中32.14%为原发性腰椎肿瘤综合征(LTS),其余为转移性病变。临床表现包括非特异性背痛(57.83%)、肌力减弱(21.69%)和神经根性疼痛(18.07%)。33.73%的患者有子宫肿瘤病史。LTS好发于胸椎(51.81%),其次为腰椎(21.67%)。单纯MRI是最常见的影像学检查方式(33.33%);其他病例中,MRI联合CT(22.92%)或X线(16.67%)使用。19.23%的患者接受切除术/固定术,15.38%接受全椎体整块切除术,10.26%接受椎体切除术。少数患者接受椎板切除减压术。在切除手术患者中,45.83%实现大体全切除,29.17%为次全切除,16.67%为近全切除。免疫组化显示肌动蛋白阳性率43.37%、结蛋白31.33%、Ki67指数25.30%。平均随访19.3个月后,61.97%患者存活;80例患者中26.25%未接受额外治疗,23.75%接受放化疗联合治疗,单纯化疗20%,单纯放疗17.5%,仅2.5%接受再次切除。在平均12.50个月随访期内,42.31%患者无症状,其余存在残余症状(19.23%)、其他部位转移(15.38%)或疼痛(7.69%)。对29例患者的随访显示,68.97%症状缓解;71例随访患者中61.97%存活。
