Spinal calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis (CAPNON) associated with facet joint pathologies : CAPNON diagnostic and pathogenic insights
Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis (CAPNON) is a rare tumor-like fibro-osseous lesion that can develop anywhere in the neuraxis. Approximately a half of reported CAPNONs developed in the spinal region, mostly close to the facet joint (FJ). The diagnosis of spinal CAPNONs is challenging given the existence of mimics and associated pathologies including calcific degeneration of the FJ ligaments (DFJL) and synovial cysts (SCs). The pathogenesis of CAPNON remains elusive, although there have been a few hypotheses including degenerative, reactive, proliferative and immune-mediated processes. Our present study examined clinical, radiological and pathological features of 12 spinal CAPNONs in comparison to 9 DFJL foci, and diagnostic and pathogenic relationship between CAPNONs and FJ pathologies. On imaging, CAPNONs were all tumor-like and typically bigger than DFJL foci. All CAPNONs showed pathologically diagnostic features including characteristic cores, consistently identifiable core-surrounding/peripheral palisading of macrophages and other cells including multinucleated giant cells, variable infiltration of CD8+ T-cells, and multifocal immunopositivity of neurofilament light chain (NF-L). These features were absent or limited in the DFJL foci with statistically significant differences from CAPNONs, except calcifications. Spinal CAPNONs co-existed with DFJL foci in all cases; some had transitional foci with overlapping focal CAPNON and DFJL-like features. These findings, along with our previously reported relationship between CAPNONs and SCs, suggest that spinal CAPNONs may occur in association with or in transition from calcifying/calcified degenerative lesions of FJ ligaments and/or SCs when a reactive proliferative process is complemented by other pathogenic changes such as immune-mediated pathology and NF-L deposition/expression.
