Abstract:
Intraspinal metastasis from malignant carcinomas in other body parts is rarely repor-ted.Intraspinal metastases are often epidural,with primary tumors mostly from the lung and prostate.The extr-amedullary subdural metastasis of thymic carcinoma is particularly rare and prone to misdiagnosis due to overlap-ping imaging features with primary intraspinal tumors.This article reports one case of intraspinal metastasis of thy-mic carcinoma,with the main diagnostic clues including a history of thymic carcinoma,fast growth rate,and ir-regular shape.
