Metastatic tumours are the most common type of tumours in the spine of which only 10% occur in the cervical spine. We report a rare presentation of metastatic pheochromocytoma of the cervical spine which was successfully treated operatively. Adequate precautions should be taken during surgery as the tumour is very vascular. Radiotherapy is useful in the treatment of residual tumour.
转移性肿瘤是脊柱最常见的肿瘤类型,其中仅10%发生于颈椎。我们报告了一例颈椎转移性嗜铬细胞瘤的罕见病例,该病例通过手术成功治疗。由于肿瘤血管非常丰富,手术期间应采取充分的预防措施。放射治疗对残留肿瘤的治疗有用。
