A rare case of spinal cord metastases from oral SCC

Jyrki Törnwall et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2008 Oct.

Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tends to spread by direct extension, lymphatic metastases and has low incidence of haematogenous spread. Intramedullary and intradural spinal cord metastases are rare in general. We present a patient case with an aggressive oral SCC which developed intradural and intramedullary multiple spinal cord metastases.
