ABSTRACT
The incidence of metastasis to the spinal cord in patients with systemic carcinoma has been extimated 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 meetastatic 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.
