Abstract

A case of cervical spine metastasis from an extraocular sebaceous carcinoma of the scalp is presented. Anterior decompression and fusion were performed and resulted in complete relief of symptoms. Postoperatively the primary tumor behaved in a very aggressive manner, with visceral metastases leading to the death of the patient in a few weeks.
