case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings demonstrate an intradural lesion at T6-7 that circumferentially encased the spinal cord [Figure 1].
case_images: T2-sequenced magnetic resonance image of spinal cord at T7 level after T6-T8 laminectomy (a) sagittal and (b) axial views showing satisfactory decompression of spinal cord.

case_images: Postoperative scans were satisfactory, and the patient was later discharged uneventfully [Figure 2].
case_images: T2-sequenced magnetic resonance image showing recurrence of tumor at same level T7 (a) sagittal and (b) axial views.

case_images: T7 sensory level. The repeat MR scans showed tumor recurrence and cord compression at the T5 to T7 levels, and the tumor was now larger than noted at the initial presentation [Figure 3].
case_images: T2-sequenced magnetic resonance image of satisfactory decompression after further tumor debulking and T3-T10 fixation (a) sagittal and (b) axial views.

case_images: The postoperative scans showed some residual tumor ventrally, and a small pseudo-meningocele [Figure 4].
