Spinal intradural extramedullary non-infiltrated solitary metastasis is very rare. We report a case of intradural extramedullary carcinoma to the T9 nerve root, which mimiking a nerve sheath tumor. Pathology reveals metastatic adenocarcinoma. We discuss the feature of mechanism and pathogenesis and management strategy follows.

For gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma with excellent differentiation, some diagnostic names have emerged in recent years, which have overlapping and different meanings. Low-grade well differentiated adenocarcinoma and very well differentiated adenocarcinoma are terms for a group of adenocarcinomas with good differentiation and little cellular atypia, including a variety of histological types. It is suggested that specific histological types should be listed as far as possible in diagnosis, instead of using "low-grade well differentiated adenocarcinoma" or "very well differentiated adenocarcinoma" as a complete diagnosis. This kind of adenocarcinomas may lack cellular pleomorphism, so it is necessary to observe the structural atypia for diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the differentiation of reactive changes, low grade dysplasia, epithelial misplacement and other lesions.

Colorectal carcinogenesis is a complex multistep process that includes changes in histomorphological appearance of the colonic mucosa and changes at molecular level. Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was first described by Bird in 1987 on examination of methylene-blue-stained colonic mucosa of azoxymethane-treated mice under light microscopy. Since then ACF was considered as the earliest preneoplastic change that can be seen in the colonic mucosa. The aim of this study was to look at the histomorphology and distribution of ACF in colorectal carcinoma. 50 formalin-fixed archival colectomy specimens for colorectal carcinoma were examined under light microscopy after staining with 0.2% methylene blue. ACF was identified by larger and darker crypts with thickened epithelium, and often elevated from adjacent normal mucosa. ACF was found in 41 of 50 colectomy specimens examined. There were 328 ACF consisting of 36 (11.0%) ACF without hyperplasia or dysplasia, 263 (80.2%) ACF with hyperplasia and 29 (8.8%) ACF with dysplasia. Of these 29 ACF with dysplasia, 25 showed low grade dysplasia and four high grade dysplasia. The density of ACF was higher in the left colon, those older than 65 years of age and among males but these findings were statistically not significant. The crypt multiplicity of hyperplastic ACF (30.149, SD 28.395) was larger than dysplastic ACF (20.613, SD 40.128). The spectrum of histological changes observed probably represent the evolution of ACF in colorectal carcinogenesis.
