description | Background. Intramedullary spinal cord metastases presenting as the first manifestation of malignancies are extremely rare lesions. Case Description. The authors report a 74-year-old woman who presented with an isolated intramedullary spinal cord metastasis which presents as first manifestation of malignancy without central nervous system and/or other organ involvement. She went under surgery, and after histopathological evaluation, primary focus was determined in lung in positron emission tomography. She is still alive after 9 months since the first diagnosis of primary focus. Conclusion. In patients with solitary intramedullary lesion in the spinal magnetic resonance imaging, whole-body investigation might help for diagnosis of primary focus and approach to treatment. |
