Metastatic Thoracic Intramedullary Small Cell Carcinoma

Abstract
|
|
|
The incidence of metastasis to the spinal cord in patients with systemic carcinoma has been estimated to be 0.9 to 8.5%. Attempts to aggressively remove intramedullary spinal cord tumor may cause increased neurologic deficits and a worsend
outcome.
The
authors present the case of a multiple intramedullary metastatic spinal cord tumor which had metastasized from the lung to the thoracic spinal level. Pathologic diagnosis of the small cell carcinoma was made from the tumor specimen obtained by
stereotaxic-guided neddle biopsy after which the patient was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
