Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: We report the first case in the literature of cervical myelopathy caused by progressive cord compression as a result of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the cervical vertebra. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old man presented with progressive cervical myelopathy. Imaging revealed a vascular, expansile lesion of contiguous cervical vertebrae causing cord compression. The surgical pathology revealed epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a rare tumor not previously reported to present in such a fashion. INTERVENTION: Preoperative embolization and a two-stage anterior and posterior surgical decompression and fusion procedure were performed. The high vascularity of this lesion makes surgery a formidable surgical challenge. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered to the residual tumor because of its potential for low-grade malignancy. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis relied on accurate histopathological assessment. The general principles of achieving cord decompression and tumor control are important. The literature on epithelioid hemangioendothelioma involving the spine is reviewed, and the tumor biology and the role of adjuvant therapy are discussed.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
