Description
Yassir Benameur and co-authors report a return of a rare disease in the spine, found by a scan in a 2026 case. The disease builds up a type of immune cell in many organs and hardens long bones. Brain and pituitary spread is known and carries a poor outlook, while spine spread is less common.
A woman aged twenty six first had thirst and bone pain, with a thick pituitary stalk on scans and biopsy proof from the shin bone. Drugs steadied her state. Later, a whole body scan found spine relapse with no symptoms at all. The case argues for long term scan watch in this disease, even when a patient feels well.
