Abstract

This article reviews the clinical syndromes of neck pain with referred pain, radiculopathy, and myelopathy caused by degenerative disorders of the cervical spine. Cervical spine pathology should be considered as a common cause of symptoms when evaluating with any patient with pain in the upper extremity.

Differential diagnosis: a reasonable clinical approach.

The reasonable clinical approach to the patient who has low back pain includes a search for any of the red flags that would prompt consideration of additional diagnostic testing for serious underlying disease. The common patterns of back pain would be explored in an effort to categorize the patient's symptoms and to begin formulation of a diagnostic impression. Re-evaluation of the patient in light of his response (or lack of response) to these measures is an essential component of the clinical assessment. Finally, some consideration must be given to the various biopsychosocial factors that may affect prognosis, particularly in patients who have more chronic pain and disability-related issues.

[Intranodal hemorrhagic spindle cell tumor].

We describe an example of a rare benign intranodal haemorrhagic spindle cell tumour (also called intranodal myofibroblastoma), occurring in a lymph node of the right inguinal region of a 53 year-old male patient. This is the first documentation of this tumour in the Danish literature. The lesion presents typically as a unilateral, solitary, painless inguinal lump. The microscopic appearance is characterized by proliferating spindle-shaped cells, interstitial haemorrhage and amianthoid fibers. Differential diagnosis includes primary and secondary lymph node tumours, such as Kaposi's sarcoma; metastatic spindle cell carcinoma; melanoma; neurilemmoma and soft tissue sarcomas. The clinical behaviour of the tumour is benign and local excision is the treatment of choice.
