Fourteen cases presented as an intramedullary lesion with spinal cord enlargement in cervico-thoracic segment and one case presented as an extramedullary lesion originating from cauda equina. Herein, we report an unusual spinal neurocytoma with exophytic growth from the thoracic spinal cord with cord compression mimicking meningioma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of exophytic spinal neurocytoma recorded in the English literature.
