Spinal Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma: Case report and literature review.

2020 
: Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is an uncommon central nervous system neoplasm with an overall favourable survival prognosis. Metastatic spread of PXA to the spinal cord and the cauda equina is rare and may have a different clinicopathological course. Treatment and prognostic outcomes, in this context, is not well defined. We discussed a case of a 30-year-old patient with known cerebral PXA presenting with metastatic spinal anaplastic PXA and present a literature analysis of treatment outcomes.
