Pure intramedullary spinal-cord metastases (ISCM) are a rare manifestation of cancer. We report a case of ISCM from gastric cancer. A 68-year-old man, treated with total gastrectomy for a gastric cancer, presented 9 months later with paresis of the left arm, pain and dissociated sensory loss. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pure intramedullary lesion at the C3-C5 level. After surgical resection, pathological findings revealed an undifferentiated adenocarcinoma of gastric origin. To our knowledge, this is only the second report of ISCM from gastric cancer in the literature.
纯脊髓髓内转移瘤(ISCM)是癌症的一种罕见表现。我们报告一例胃癌导致的ISCM病例。一名68岁男性因胃癌接受了全胃切除术,9个月后出现左臂麻痹、疼痛和分离性感觉丧失。磁共振成像显示C3 - C5水平有一个纯髓内病变。手术切除后,病理结果显示为胃源性未分化腺癌。据我们所知,这是文献中第二例关于胃癌导致ISCM的报告。
