Primary intramedullary extradural Ewing sarcoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ewing sarcoma is the second most frequent primary bone tumour of childhood and adolescence. The aim of this report is to describe the imaging, pathology, clinical findings, and treatment of a primary intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma with a unique intracranial metastatic component in a pediatric patient. A 14-year-old girl with a history of mood disorders presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of neck torticollis, cervical pain, paresis, and paresthesia of the upper and lower extremities on the left side. Initially, non-organic causes such as somatization or conversion disorder were suspected. She returned 3 months later when her symptoms worsened. MRI of the head and spine was performed, and demonstrated the presence of a suprasellar, retro-chiasmatic mass lesion. There was also diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement, another well-defined intradural extramedullary lesion the sacral region and several multifocal cauda equina soft tissue nodules. The patient first underwent surgery. The patient was also treated with a combination of chemotherapy (vincristine, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide (VDC/IE)) and radiation as per the Children's Oncology Group AEWS1221 protocol. Most recent imaging conducted 22 months after the initial mass discovery revealed improvement of the suprasellar mass lesion with residual stable appearance of the prominence and enhancement of the pituitary stalk and tuber cinereum. There was interval improvement of the spinal lesions with no convincing residual. Clinically, at almost three years since initial imaging findings, and 25 months since completing treatment, she is stable from an oncology perspective.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
