Abstract
Intramedullary tumors of the spinal cord account for 2%-4% of all central nervous system tumors. Surgical resection with intraoperative neuromonitoring, although challenging, remains the mainstay of treatment with the goal to prevent neurologic decline. We present a case of an unusual anaplastic glioma of the thoracic spinal cord in a 42-year-old male that spanned 7 vertebral levels and could not be definitively characterized using the 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors.
